Vegetation - San Mateo County [ds3021]

Metadata Updated: November 27, 2024

In 2018, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (Parks Conservancy) (https://parksconservancy.org), non-profit support partner to the National Park Service (NPS) Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), initiated a fine scale vegetation mapping project in Marin County. The GGNRA includes lands in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, and NPS expressed interest in pursuing fine scale vegetation mapping for those lands as well. The Parks Conservancy facilitated multiple meetings with potential project stakeholders and was able to build a consortium of funders to map all of San Mateo County (and NPS lands in San Francisco). The consortium included the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD), Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST), San Mateo City/County Association of Governments, and various County of San Mateo departments including Parks, Agricultural Weights and Measures, Public Works/Flood Control District, Office of Sustainability, and Planning and Building. Over a 3-year period, the project, collectively referred to as the “San Mateo Fine Scale Veg Map”, has produced numerous environmental GIS products including 1-foot contours, orthophotography, and other land cover maps. A 106-class fine-scale vegetation map was completed in April 2022 that details vegetation communities and agricultural land cover types, including forests, grasslands, riparian vegetation, wetlands, and croplands. The environmental data products from the San Mateo Fine Scale Veg Map are foundational and can be used by organizations and government departments for a wide range of purposes, including planning, conservation, and to track changes over time to San Mateo County''s habitats and natural resources.Development of the San Mateo fine-scale vegetation map was managed by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and staffed by personnel from Tukman Geospatial (https://tukmangeospatial.com/), Aerial Information Systems (AIS; http
