Our Wildfire Report will take a long-term look at the acreage within the county subject to wildfire, breaking it down across current land use and ownership. It will then break that data down further for the last decade, bringing in burn intensity categories.
Forest Density
Our Forest Density Report will combine cutting edge U of I research on the maximum density across the landscape with satellite data imputed tree cover across the county. It will detail forest density metrics, acreage by ownership, land use and relative density classes.
