Normalized least-cost corridors, statewide analysis

Metadata Updated: June 15, 2024

This GIS dataset is part of a suite of wildlife habitat connectivity data produced by the Washington Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Working Group (WHCWG). The WHCWG is a voluntary public-private partnership between state and federal agencies, universities, tribes, and non-governmental organizations. The WHCWG is co-led by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The statewide analysis quantifies current connectivity patterns for Washington State and adjacent areas in British Columbia, Idaho, Oregon and a small portion of Montana. Available WHCWG raster data include model base layers, resistance, cost-weighted distance, landscape integrity networks, focal species networks, and focal species guild networks. Grid cell size is 100meters x 100meters. Habitat concentration areas, landscape integrity core areas, and linkage maps reside in raster and vector format. Cell values represent normalized least-cost scaled in kilometers. Project background can be found in the report: Washington Wildlife Habitat Connectivity Working Group (WHCWG). 2010.
