Data Requests
Consultants, private organizations, and the general public may request Environmental Summary Reports, geodatabases of species information, and other data products for environmental review, permitting, and planning processes. Natural resource managers in government agencies can self-serve this information from our Map Viewer web application by creating an account and receiving elevated permissions.
All requests are free of charge. Before submitting a request, note that we make a variety of information on species and habitats readily available in our web applications and other online resources.
