DATA CLEARINGHOUSE

The Data Clearinghouse stores publications, GIS files, geodatabases, data/databases, and maps from ODFW natural resource projects and those funded by the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, from Oregon Watershed Councils, and Oregon Plan partners.

The goal of the Data Clearinghouse is to make Oregon’s natural resource information more accessible and to provide a centralized accumulation and distribution service for Oregon's natural resource data. The increased availability of data provided by the Data Clearinghouse supports recovery planning, the Oregon Plan Assessment process, and other resource management efforts.

ODFW's Natural Resource Information Management Program (NRIMP) created the Data Clearinghouse in coordination with the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the Oregon Explorer Program at Oregon State University (OSU), a partnership between the Institute for Natural Resources (INR) and OSU Libraries. Data and reports uploaded to the Data Clearinghouse are available through the Oregon Explorer website.
