  1. GIS Webinar Series: Protected Lands Medley Presented by Rebecca Lilja U.S. Forest Service Northeastern Area S&PF rlilja@fs.fed.us 603-868-7627 July 13, 2011

  2. Webinar topics… • Protected Lands Data….a one minute history! • PAD-US…a tale of 2 datasets • National Conservation Easement Database • Forest Legacy Tracts Database • Resources & Websites • What’s coming soon... • Demo • Informal Discussion (Chat)

  3. Protected Lands Protected Areas are lands dedicated to the preservation of biological diversity and to other natural, recreation and cultural uses, and managed for these purposes through legal or other effective means. (adapted from IUCN definition)

  4. Henderson Lake, NY

  5. Protected Lands Data….oh how far we’ve come! • 1996 – USGS GAP stewardship mapping by state • 1999 – First CBI Protected Areas Database (PAD) • 2002/2003 – Ducks Unlimited CARL (Conservation And Recreation Lands) for the Great Lakes states • 2005 – USGS GAP Multi-state stewardship data • 2005 - TNC Secured Lands (Eastern US) • 2008 - National GAP stewardship data with IUCN categories • 2009 – PAD Partnership (CBI, USGS, TNC, BLM, USFS, Land Trust Alliance) • 2010 – PADUS version 1.1 (CBI and USGS Versions) • 2011 - PADUS version 1.2 (USGS Version)

  6. Why are there two PADUS Datasets? • Parallel efforts that meet separate organizational objectives • While the boundaries may be the same, Conservation measures (e.g. GAP Status Codes and IUCN Categories) may different • USGS Version relies heavily on State Data Stewards • CBI Version uses multiple data sources • CBI made edits the source data (with permission) to resolve overlaps, topology errors, and inconsistencies • CBI maintains secondary and tertiary designations

  7. PADUS-CBI Version • PADUS CBI Version 1.1 released May 2010 • 970,683,999 acres mapped • “Flat file” – overlaps and gaps are corrected with permission from the source • Includes a Private Land Matrix - a feature of all unprotected land • Secondary and tertiary designations (e.g., a Wilderness Area within a National Forest)

  8. Current list of CBI reviewers/contributors (in NA) • Sarah Bogen, GIS Analyst, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources – Forestry Division • Tara Kieninger, Program Manager, Division of Natural Heritage, Illinois Department of Natural Resources • Chris Phaneuf, GIS Analyst, New Hampshire GRANIT Statewide GIS Clearinghouse • Janel Pike, GIS Development Specialist, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources -Forestry Division If you feel you have important additions to make to the next version, please contact Kai Henifin khenifin@consbio.org.

  9. PADUS -USGS Version • PADUS USGS Version 1.2 released March 2011 • 999,215,403 acres mapped • Includes coastal monuments • New sources Federal lands including DOD, NOAA, NPS, and BLM NLCS. • PAD-US version 1.3 is scheduled for release this fall. It will contain additional federal land updates (e.g. FWS, USFS) as well as 10 State Data updates and NCED.

  16. Forest Legacy Tracts Database • Database of all lands associated with the Forest Legacy program, including fee acquisitions, easements, cost share, and donations • Ties directly into FLIS • FLIS 2.0 will include an online map viewer and direct download • To get it now, contact me!

  17. Forest Legacy Tracts Database

  18. What’s on the horizon with protected lands…. • New PADUS CBI Version by end of 2011 • PAD-US USGS version 1.3 is scheduled for release this fall. It will contain additional federal land updates (e.g. FWS, USFS) as well as 10 State Data Steward and NCED. • Release of NCED in August 2011 • FLIS 2.0 with GIS download in Spring 2012 • Latest conservation datasets posted to the Protected Areas Center
