To aid in this goal, land stewardship parcels in this digital dataset are labeled with the agency or other entity managing the land and its resources, as well as a management status code indicating level of biodiversity protection. Purpose: Developed in support of the WV Gap Analysis Project to provide information regarding land stewardship (management responsibility) and biodiversity management status. Supplemental_Information: Please refer to the WV-GAP final report.
