<p class="MsoNormal">I think several of you will be interested in this new data compilation and viewer by USGS. (Protected Areas Database) See the links below and provide feedback to USGS if you have comments/recommendations on the beta viewer. I think it
looks pretty slick and info on the data itself and access are also provided on the Information tab. There definitely may be some data within this database that our Framework Program may be interested in as they have built statewide layers.
