The Conservation Biology Institute, the Great Basin Landscape Conservation Cooperative, Oregon State University, and EcoAdapt hosted a workshop to present a series of decision support tools for land managers in the PNW.
Participants discovered and learned how to use web tools and explored how these tools can help inform protection and restoration priorities as well as site management decisions. Participants also had a chance to provide feedback to developers and scientists to improve web applications so they can best meet decision-making needs. While some tool presentations focused on sage-steppe in Oregon, most applications have been developed for a larger portion of the Pacific Northwest or Great Basin.
