Data Collection, Mapping and Visualization Data

You can learn more about GIS at the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF).

Data Collection

Foresters can note the acreage of a forested tract and the tree species within it. The capability to enter insect damage, wildfire hazards and water quality law enforcement information in the field will soon be available through our Web-based database, the Integrated Forest Resource Information System (IFRIS).

  • GIS data of forested areas, riparian forests and fire risk areas can be downloaded from our site.
