Boundaries, roads, and land cover for 3 (three) focal landscapes and 10 (ten) grassland bird conservation areas in Wisconsin are provided in GIS format. Land cover for the focal landscapes was characterized using satellite imagery from the 2013 growing season. Land cover was characterized in 3 (three) focal landscapes and embedded grassland bird conservation areas in Wisconsin as part of a project to establish baseline measures of bird populations and land use against which the impact of conservation actions to benefit grassland birds could be assessed. Original metadata date is 02/22/2019. Minor metadata updates were made on 11/13/2019.
