California Seed Bank Assessment of Needs App

Users can look up local reforestation information or select broader geographic regions. Mapped seed zone and elevation band areas are color-coded by collection priority.

Priority ranges from the highest colored in red (greater than 100 cone bushels needed) to the lowest in yellow (10 bushels or less). Interactive pop-ups display zone-specific cone bushel need and surplus and natural disturbance data to non-federal conifer forests. Disturbance data includes total and high-severity acreage burned by large wildfires, acreage affected by insects and disease, and tree mortality due to such diseases.
