Project Findings

Try our new Findings Search feature!

You will find over 1100 science findings described by 9 attributes including subject, large geographic areas, ecoregions and more.  Almost all of our completed JFSP sponsored research projects have been entered into this new database.

Our hope is this new addition will prove useful and assist in finding information quickly. We appreciate your review and comments to improve this new product.  Send an email to timothy_swedberg@nifc.blm.gov.
