California Vegetation - WHRTYPE

An accurate depiction of the spatial distribution of habitat types within California is required for a variety of legislatively-mandated government functions. 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+. 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 service depicts the WHRTYPE description from the fveg dataset (Wildlife Habitat Relationship classes).The full dataset can be downloaded in raster format here:  GIS Mapping and Data Analytics | CAL FIREThe service represents the latest release of the data, and is updated when a new version is released. Currently it represents fveg15_1.
