NY Protected Areas Database

Summary

USGS provided funding to update a protected areas geodatabase for New York State that contributes directly to the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US). Specific project objectives were to: update New York’s state and local government data and private conservation protected areas data in a PAD-US geodatabase following a review of national standards and to build capacity in the state, through interagency coordination, to increase the likelihood additional updates will be available to maintain PAD-US.
