Description
Abstract
                            The Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat Network is based on the connectivity outputs for the terrestrial focal species modelled. Please see the "2021 Wildlife Corridor Analysis - Methods Summary & Results'.

Original wildlife corridor and movement barrier line featureclasses buffered at 100 ft distance to create polygons for integration with habitat areas to achieve single TWHN polygon dataset
                          
Purpose
                            The Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat Network identifies areas that have a variety of habitat types and provide natural areas away from the influences of urban development.
