      <abstract>These data provide information about a variety of resources related to reforestation in California. Included resources may be decision-support tools, factsheets and briefs, frameworks and manuals, peer-reviewed publications, or programs supporting reforestation work. Information compiled for each resource includes organization or author of the resource, year published, a brief description, regional relevance, primary topic, resource type, land ownership, keywords, abbreviated URL, and hyperlinks for the resource.</abstract>
      <purpose>The data were collected to provide a central repository of resources that may be helpful for planning and implementing reforestation work in California.</purpose>

        <procdesc>Project partners were invited to share known resources to include in the Toolshed with the dataset originators. Originators then conducted web searches for additional resources using search terms such as “California” and “reforestation” and publication dates from 2000 or sooner. Each resource was read and explored to populate the data fields in the spreadsheet.</procdesc>
