Forest monitoring at a national scale began in the United States with 
the need for a timber supply inventory in the 1930s. The U.S.D.A. Forest 
Service's Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA or Forest Survey) Program 
has evolved over the years toward more holistic, ecological assessments. 
The FIA Program is today undergoing accelerated redirection toward 
ecological concerns while continuing its mission to assess U.S. timber 
supplies. 

For those wanting to view or comment on the ecological FIA 
initiative, check out the ECOFIA site currently at:
