Building the Data
1. Location of project

2. Attributes – a table of information

Stepping Back
California System
• www.CALands.org
• www.ParkInfo.org
• www.ParkInfo.org/recreation
• www.mapsportal.org/mapcollab_facilities/
• www.parkinfo.org/factfinder2011/grantee.html
California Take-Away
• Building integrated protected areas and
related data creates big opportunities
• Others doing this (KS, MA . . .)
• Opportunity for others?
Moving forward
1. Use the LWCF MapCollaborator
2. Get more states in
3. Improve states’ data (coord. w/NPS)
4. Build tools to better use the Atlas
5. Develop public site for broad use?
