Windows Pedon and Pedon PC Support Data

Download a new/empty Windows Pedon database to replace a database that you have submitted for uploading to NASIS. This new database does contain basic geographic area and geomorphic feature lookup data, but you will have to reload whatever plant lookup data you were using into this new/empty Windows Pedon database.

The ability to download an MO plant list created prior to 04/20/2010 has been disabled. If your MO has not yet provided a plant list dated 04/20/2010 or later, please contact your MO to find out when an updated plant list might be available.

WARNING: A post NASIS 6.0 local plant list should NEVER be imported into a Windows Pedon/Pedon PC Database containing a pre NASIS 6.0 local plant list! Doing so will scramble your plant list. Every local plant list on this page is a post NASIS 6.0 local plant list. The safest thing to do is to always import a post NASIS 6.0 local plant list into a New/Empty Windows Pedon/Pedon PC Database.
