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 assessment of connectivity for the Okanagan-Kettle subregion is led by the Transboundary Connectivity Working Group (TCWG), which includes the WHCWG as well as members from agencies, organizations as well as independent biologists from both sides of the border.  A final report concerning this project, including analysis methods, is expected at a later date and will be available online at: http://www.waconnected.org.  The TCWG GIS connectivity products are organized by five fracture zones: Highway 97 North, Highway 97 Central, Highway 97 South, Highway 3 East, and Highway 3 West. All raster layers have a 100 meter  x 100 meter cell size.

Use Constraints:
TCWG/WHCWG makes no guarantee concerning the content, accuracy, completeness, or the results obtained from queries or use of TCWG/WHCWG data, other than those for which the data was developed and its intended use. The TCWG/WHCWG shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. TCWG/WHCWG produced these data which represent a regional analysis that portrays conditions at a regional scale. Applying these data at finer, more local scales is likely to increase uncertainty in terms of accuracy and applicability for local land use decisions. TCWG/WHCWG expended great effort to compile the best GIS data within constraints imposed by data development costs, available compilation sources, and available staff resources. Inherent in any dataset used to develop graphical representations, are limitations of accuracy as determined by, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data.
