Publication Date: 2007

Objectives: 1. Develop a database for soils and vegetation in formation based on the existing nationwide WEPP climate, soils and management specifically to support fuel management activities. 2. Transfer the GeoWEPP tool from ArcView (widely distributed earlier version of a simple desktop GIS) to ArcGIS (widely used state-of-the-art GIS). 3. Develop custom interfaces and menus within the latest version of ArcGIS accessing the databases and targeting specific management options related to fuel management. 4. Assist users in defining critical watershed topographic parameters relating to stream density. 5. Assist with at least four wildland erosion workshops to present the most current version of our GIS tool for field use, while receiving feedback about areas to improve, or new features to incorporate into the tool. 6. Hold an information session at the 2005 BAER training to identify user needs and wishes and organize a workshop associated with the 2006 BAER training to release the new tool for public use.
