Description:

Abstract:: A key goal of the West Virginia Gap Analysis Project is to compare the distribution of mapped biodiversity elements with current land management or stewardship status. 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
