Summary

SENSITIVE DATA - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE. The Fish and Wildlife observation (FishWildlife_Observation) feature class provides users with commonly used features and attributes essential to the Forest Service. To permanently edit or add data, the appropriate NRIS application must be used. *****This data is clipped to a 1 mile buffer of the California State border.******

Description

The Fish and Wildlife Observation polygon feature class represents observations of aquatic and terrestrial animals made by sight, sound, and other detection methods. It includes locations where animals were found. It does not include surveyed places where the animal was looked for and not found. Data originated primarily from the NRIS (Natural Resource Information Systems) Wildlife and Aquatic Surveys applications. The feature class includes the observation location on land or water and the attributes defined in this Metadata documentation. Please note that all listed status fields are dependent on FS units having entered status information into the NRIS TAXA application. A null value does not necessarily indicate an unlisted status.
