Approximately 38 million acres are included in the data base. Issues and methodologies employed concerning design, automation, analysis, product production, and maintenance are discussed. INTRODUCTION California is the most populous state in the United States, with most of the state’s population concentrated primarily in several large urban areas. The rural areas of California have traditionally been either resource or agricultural based economies, although in recent years, the rural areas of the state have experienced increasing population growth, resulting primarily from a migration from the urban centers of the state. Accompanying the growth and shift in population is an increasing demand for forest products, as well as an increasing concern for environmental protection. A key concern centers around the long-term viability of the state’s wildlife populations. The forested areas of California have been the focus of legislation since the early 1970’s, resulting in statutes such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) at the federal level, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Z’berg-Nejedly Forest Practice at the state level. As a result, many believe that California has the strictest set of regulations governing forest management activities of any other state in the country. Public concern over protection of wildlife populations and habitats continues, however, and this year there are three ballot initiatives aimed directly at forest management, each containing language that will result in significant changes in current policies on private forest lands in California. The Timber Association of California (TAC) believes that forest resource management as currently practiced on private lands in California can and does provide for diverse and thriving populations of wildlife dependent on forest ecosystems. Moreover, federal land management policies stemming from the requirements of NEPA and NFMA require careful and effective consideration of wildlife needs in concert with other forest resources.
