The Forest Inventory and Analysis program can be thought of as a census for
trees. After receiving landowner permission, permanently established plots
across the state are re-measured every five to 10 years to determine growth,
composition and mortality of forests, as well as land use changes and wildfire
potential.
Texas A&M Forest
Service, in cooperation with the Southern Research Station of the USDA Forest
Service and Texas landowners, conducts an inventory to measure the status and
condition of the forest resources in the state.
FIA provides objective and scientifically credible information
that can be used to support economic development, forest conservation, wildfire
risk preparedness and forest damage assessments. This information can also help
you make informed decisions about managing your land based on your
objectives.
Data is reported on
a county, regional and statewide basis, ensuring the confidentiality of
individual landowner information.
