How to use it:

Use the filters on the left side to change the date range and maturity of the stands whose data you are viewing.

To view how height and maturity have changed over time in a region, right click on the town or county of interest to you and click on “drill through” then “Height over time”.
 
To go back to the map from “Height over time” click on the back arrow in the upper left corner.
