Inventory Overview

The Inventory and Monitoring Program provides guidance, funding, and technical assistance for National Park Service (NPS) to complete a set of 12 baseline natural resource inventories. Natural resource inventories are extensive point-in-time surveys to determine the location or condition of a resource, including the presence, class, distribution, and status of biological resources such as plants and animals, and abiotic resources such as air, water, soils, landforms, and climate. Inventories are designed to contribute to our knowledge of the condition of park resources and establish baseline information for subsequent monitoring activities. Find information and products for inventories at your park with the Inventory Tracking Database.
