This extensive guide to natural resource terms was originally prepared by the U.S. Forest Service. The glossary is listed on a commercial forestry site. I documents including text of the NEPA law, NEPA regulations, other relevant laws, executive orders, and guidance. This site provides a weekly listing of all draft and final EISs, as well as a summary of EPA's comments of reviewed EISs. This detailed on-line guide for U.S. Forest Service personnel serves the basis for preparation of EISs and similar studies within national forests.
Most links are to federal government or other official sources of information.
General environmental links and search tools are also included. The USGS is responsible for collecting and mapping data about the geology, water resources, landforms, and cultural features of the U.S., and much of this data is available online. A search feature can also be accessed. The NRIS system allows national forests to utilize a common set of data collection procedures and data. Much of the specific information is not available to the public on the web.
