Forest to Seas — A Report on Outreach Efforts

The NatureMapping Program is featured in Forest to Seas — A Report on Outreach Efforts Aligned with the University of Washington's College of the Environment.

We’re proud to share with you this comprehensive account of all of the impressive outreach efforts under way throughout the College. In complement with our scientific research, these outreach activities are integral to the mission of the College of the Environment. Our investment in communities, in connecting children and adults with the world around them through a scientific lens, and in empowering policy-makers with the tools and information to make good decisions based on sound science, are a vital part of the vision of the College.

Online Data Entry

NatureMapping announces the online data entry and location mapping site for reporting your wildlife observations.

One of our goals is to create a biodiversity database and build layers of information about birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, terrestrial and aquatic insects and plants in a way that when combined gives all of us a picture of the biological health of an area...a neighborhood, city, county, and state.


Your data will be added to the NatureMapping database after further review.

Currently, data can be entered for the following states: AR, CA, IA, MA, MI, NY, PA, TX, VA, WA other states will be added in conjunction with the development of their spreadsheet and NatureTracker software for PDA's with GPS units.
