Current Activities
Identifying other potential datasets, partners, and contributors
Meeting with new partners and contributors Enabling databases for web display and
searching Converting paper documents to PDF Participating in Node working groups

Challenges
USGS Contracting Office Uncertain funding makes longer term
commitments difficult Communication Website design
– Thematically based? Geographically based? Topic based? What are other nodes doing?

Opportunities
IUFRO Global Forestry Information Service Overlap with other nodes (California) or
projects (Land Use History of North America) Technology sharing
– Mercury– ArcIMS– Oracle
Expand to other regional issues
