RCN2007-01: Creation of Regional Habitat Cover Maps: Application of the Northeast Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat Classification System
Summary The Regional Habitat Map is a raster GIS database of upland and wetland wildlife habitat in the Northeast classified using the Northeast Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat Classification System (NETWHCS). This effort provides a common framework and language for conservation planning and wildlife management across jurisdictional borders. Specifically, the map provides a standardized and consistent habitat and ecosystem classification at multiple scales across states, facilitates interstate communication about habitats, offers managers a tool for understanding regional biodiversity patterns, and allows for more effective and efficient habitat conservation across the region.

LCC-1: Virginia Piedmont and Coastal Plain Updates to Northeast Habitat Map
Summary This project updated the Northeast Terrestrial Habitat Map by remapping the Virginia coastal plain and Piedmont regions. The previous version adopted the Southeast GAP map for these areas. The result is a fully consistent habitat map across the 13 states of the Northeast region.
