Idaho Sage Grouse Task Force Conservation Areas

This data set contains landscape-scale greater sage-management zones as defined by the Idaho Sage Grouse Task Force. The intended scale of use is 1:500,000. The data was developed through a collaborative process in looking at several GIS datasets. The dataset was digitzed coarsely on the screen to roughly match the extent of the BLM PPH and PGH line work. In August 2012, the names of the Southwest and Southeast Conservation Areas where changed to West Owyhee and Southern, respectively. Also, the boundary between these two areas was also changed to the Bruneau River. Fields: Management Zones are within field [IDcat_rev1] = Core, Important, General, or Nonhabitat (areas that are islands of nonhabitat). Conservation Areas are within field [CoreZones] = Mountain Valleys, Desert, Southern, or West Owyhee. [NorthSouth] = South of the Snake River or North of the Snake River.
