We Want . . .
LWCF Project LWCF Project HEREHERE
• Fully functional web map application• Demonstration data – 10 states • Two months, about $7,000*
There’s good news!
*From USGS GAP

Building the Data
1. Location of project • latitude-longitude • (street address…)• GIS format file (shape, KML, gdb)
2. Attributes – a table of information• core attributes
Stepping Back
California System
• www.CALands.org
• www.ParkInfo.org
• www.ParkInfo.org/recreation
• www.mapsportal.org/mapcollab_facilities/
• www.parkinfo.org/factfinder2011/grantee.html
California Take-Away
• Building integrated protected areas and related data creates big opportunities
• Others doing this (KS, MA . . .)
• Opportunity for others?
Moving forward
1. Use the LWCF MapCollaborator
2. Get more states in
3. Improve states’ data (coord. w/NPS)
4. Build tools to better use the Atlas
5. Develop public site for broad use?
