Summary

This GIS dataset is part of a suite of wildlife habitat connectivity data produced by the Washington Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Working Group (WHCWG). The WHCWG is a voluntary public-private partnership between state and federal agencies, universities, tribes, and non-governmental organizations. The WHCWG is co-led by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The statewide analysis quantifies current connectivity patterns for Washington State and adjacent areas in British Columbia, Idaho, Oregon and a small portion of Montana. Available WHCWG raster data include model base layers, resistance, cost-weighted distance, landscape integrity networks, focal species networks, [...]

Purpose

This raster was produced from the normalized least-cost corridors (NLCC) mosaic. NLCC values were converted to kilometers and NLCC values greater than 100km were excluded from the raster. The clipped raster provides a convenient map for interpreting linkages and for application of cartographic color ramps in the linkage areas. The 100km NLCC cutoff value may not be appropriate for all applications and some data users may prefer to use the full NLCC mosaic.
