Description

This tabular dataset includes land cover classes and acres and percentages of land cover for the National Wildlife Refuge System. The National Land Cover Database NLCD 2001 was utilized for the analysis. Coordination Areas, National Wildlife Refuges, Wildlife Management Areas and Waterfowl Production Areas were extracted from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service interest boundaries dataset. GIS rasters were produced from the analysis and included as a separate reference.
