Example Sources

• Colorado Natural Diversity Information Source This site, known as NDIS, provides us with species winter range information. If necessary, we work with local HPP committees to update the information.

• USDA-NRCS Soil Survey Database (SSURGO) These data provide the polygons that we use to map forage production.

• USDA-NRCS MUIR Database These data provide the forage production values we need.
