Description
Abstract 
The statewide vector file shows buffered areas that primarily contain habitat for rare, threatened, and endangered species and rare natural community types. It was created over USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps and it generally includes, but does not specifically delineate, such regulated areas as Natural Heritage Areas, Wetlands of Special State Concern, Colonial Waterbird Colonies, and Habitat Protection Areas. Version 1 also included Waterfowl Concentration and Staging Areas, but these areas have not been included in subsequent versions. The file is best displayed by the "Group" attribute.

Purpose 
This data layer was originally created to provide information to local jurisdictions and state agencies to assist with assessing environmental impacts and reviewing potential development projects or land use changes. This version updates the information included and provides additional information through the "Group" attribute.
