Data and Metadata

Provided are the datasets that have been provided by many organizations in association with the PDNWC Project. Metadata can be found by clicking on a data "name" which then opens a Metadata page. The buttons in the "Download Data" column will open a link to compressed zipped files. Finally, a preview of the existing data is available by clicking on the work "image" hyperlinked at the end of the descriptions column. All data provided on this page are in shapefile format. Therefore, the files that are contained in the zipped folder comprise and support the relevant shapefile.
