WFDW is excited to announce the upcoming rollout and launch of the Riparian Data Engine (RDE), a powerful new decision-support tool designed to enhance our collective ability to identify, evaluate, screen, and prioritize riparian restoration efforts across the state. During this Teams webinar they will officially introduce this tool and demonstrate its key features and functions.

Developed in response to legislative direction and several years in the making, the Riparian Data Engine brings together a wide array of geospatial datasets into a single interactive platform. The tool enables users to easily filter, visualize, and analyze riparian-related data to support strategic decision-making and collaboration across agencies and jurisdictions.  By aggregating and comparing data across spatial extents, the RDE supports answering critical questions about where riparian vegetation exists, where it is lacking, and where restoration efforts are most needed to support ecological outcomes.

During this session, attendees will:

• Learn how and why the RDE was created
• See a live demo where we use the tool for common use cases and applications
• Engage in a Q&A session with the development team

Staff from Conservation Districts, Salmon Recovery Lead Entities, and anyone who has in interest in riparian habitat restoration are encouraged to attend and explore how this tool can support your work.
