Description:
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's CALFIRE Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), in cooperation with California Department of Fish and Wildlife VegCamp program and extensive use of USDA Forest Service Region 5 Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) data, has compiled the "best available" land cover data available for California into a single comprehensive statewide data set. The data span a period from approximately 1990 to 2014 (this layer shows data collected during 2002 and 2010). Typically the most current, detailed and consistent data were collected for various regions of the state. Decision rules were developed that controlled which layers were given priority in areas of overlap. Cross-walks were used to compile the various sources into the common classification scheme, the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) system.

This data set has been extracted for a buffered area around Santa Barbara county. This dataset has also been sorted into 10 layers that correspond to the WHR10NAME categories. Each of these layers is broken out further into finer categories. When you "Open in Map" you can select the "Layers" tab to the left and it will reveal the 10 layers where you can select them on and off.
