The priority conservation and restoration counties can be used to identify where, at the regional level, conservation of existing pollinator habitat or restoration of pollinator habitat will provide the greatest benefit in terms of wild pollination of pollinator-dependent crops. These can also be overlaid with other data sources at the appropriate scale, including other ecosystem services maps, to find areas where conservation or restoration would provide multiple benefits. The additional fields in the datasets have the necessary information to make slight changes to the identification of priority restoration and conservation areas. When using these data, please keep in mind that they are designed for landscape-level assessments; due to inaccuracies in the national-scale input datasets, they should not be used to conduct field-level assessments of wild pollination. This information can be used to identify possible target areas for restoration or conservation of wild pollinator habitat, but field validation of potential project areas is necessary to confirm that potential habitat areas are providing wild pollinator habitat and that nearby pollinator-dependent crops exist
