This dataset shows the Land-Use/ Land-Cover of the Crown of the Continent with a 50km buffer.

This dataset was developed by the Crown Managers Partnership, as part of a transboundary collaborative management initiative for the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem, based on commonly identified management priorities that are relevant at the landscape scale. The CMP is collaborative group of land managers, scientists, and stakeholder in the CCE.  For more information on the CMP and its collaborators, programs, and projects please visit: http://crownmanagers.org/
