The Sampling Frame is defined by a grid of 4 square mile hexagons (sampling units) covering the extent of California. The Unique_ID field in the attribute table is to identify individual sampling units. This layer was first created as the Sampling Frame for the 2008-2012 Multi-Region Mesocarnivore survey effort funded by the State Wildlife Grant T-11-1.
