Summary

The Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive Plant All Occurrence (TESP_OccurenceAll) published feature class provides easily accessible and commonly used features and attributes essential to Forest Service business. *****This data is clipped to a 1 mile buffer of the California State border.******

Description

Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive Plant All Occurrence (TESP_OccurenceAll) feature class includes all Threatened, Endangered and Sensitive Plant sites collected by the National TESP Inventory Protocol. Includes most recent observations of a site as well as historic observations. Point features were converted to polygons by applying a 10 meter buffer; they were then combined with the polygon layer into a single published feature class.
