With topology in ArcGIS the interest in forestry is growing. An initial forestry model was developed by the Forestry Special Interest Group (FSIG) with the follow-up design and sample database work led by Dennis Murphy. We are interested in moving this forward and would be glad for any input. For more information or to become involved with the forestry data model contact Peter Eredics.
