The Integrated Landscape Assessment Project (ILAP) is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Forest Service, universities, and other organizations to conduct integrated landscape assessments to inform natural resource decisions. The goal of ILAP outreach is to expand partnerships and promote awareness and use of ILAP information by land managers. Outreach activities include webinars, fact sheets, advisory groups, and a project website. Next steps are to facilitate use of ILAP data and tools in forest planning, assessments, and projects over the next 4 years and expand collaboration beyond the initial 4 states.
