Description: This dataset contains the midpoint of a wildlife facility that crosses under or over a roadway. It provides spatial locations of wildlife roadway crossings and the purpose and physical characteristics such as the target species, type of crossing (e.g., bridge, culvert), dimensions, and additional location information. This data represents the information collected and reported as of the most recent inventory performed and may not reflect the current conditions.

Description: This layer is a subset of FLMA created by the DQ: MATYPE2 'P'
This layer contains a selection of FLORIDA MANAGED AREAS (FNAI layer name FLMA) that are managed by the State, Local, or Federal government (note: some of these lands may be owned by Private Individual(s)). The Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) has identified these lands as having natural resource value and as lands that are being managed at least partially for conservation purposes.
Public Lands were extracted from the FNAI Managed Areas SDE Layer. The public lands were extracted by selecting all records with the expression: "MATYPE2" 'P'. This selection set was exported to a spatial view with the name PUBLICLAND.
The resulting layer represents all non-privately managed lands.
Description: This dataset contains public pine lands that have been identified for the purpose of prescribed burning in the State of Florida. The dataset represents the intersection of Water Management District Land Use/Land Cover data sets with the Florida Natural Areas Inventory Public Lands boundary dataset. For source dates and inputs see metadata.
Description: This layer is a subset of FLMA created by the DQ: MATYPE2 = 'S'
FLORIDA CONSERVATION LANDS (layer name FLMA): This is a polygon data layer for public (and some private) lands that the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) has identified as having natural resource value and that are being managed at least partially for conservation purposes. The term "Managed Area" refers to a managed conservation land.

Description: This data set contains water management district owned lands for the state of Florida. Potential acquisitions are also included for South Florida, St. John's River, and Southwest Florida water management districts. This data is available by district for each respective water management district. This dataset was compiled from those datasets at the University of Florida GeoPlan Center.
Name: State Owned Florida Parks and Recreational Facilities (Polygons)
Display Field: NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This layer is a subset of GC_PARKSBND created by the DQ: OWNER = 'STATE OF FLORIDA'
This dataset contains Parks and Recreational Facilities boundary information for the State of Florida. This parks layer focuses mainly on county and locally owned parks, for state and federally owned parks please use the Florida Natural Areas Inventory; Florida Managed Lands (FLMA) layer available on FGDL. This dataset is a combination of parks and recreational facility locations from over 65 different sources. The data contains selected fields denoting the name, physical address, and other facility information for parks located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of parks in Florida. Park locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. Please Note: Campground, Boat Ramp and Trailhead boundary information is often generalized and not exact.

Description: This GIS data set represents the Wildlife Management Area system administered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). These data are intended as a general reference map only. More information on activities permitted in individual areas can be found from the links on FWC's Web site: http://www.myfwc.com/RECREATION/WMASites_index.htm
Description: This data layer depicts the external boundaries of lands and waters that are approved for acquisition by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Florida. The primary source for this information is the USFWS Realty program.
Description: Aquatic Preserves are state-owned sovereign submerged lands in areas which have exceptional biological, aesthetic, and scientific value, as described in Chapter 258.39, Florida Statutes, which have been set aside for the benefit of future generations. These areas are managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas. Currently, all Aquatic Preserves are also Outstanding Florida Waters (OFWs). However, it is important to note that there are three Aquatic Preserves whose OFW boundaries differ from the Aquatic Preserve boundary. These are described more specifically in the OFW rule 62-302.700: Indian River - Malabar to Vero Beach - does not include portions of Sebastian and Turkey creeks; Wekiva River - does not include portions of the St. Johns River; and Big Bend Seagrasses - the OFW rule specifies certain "incorporated and unincorporated areas" that are excluded from the Aquatic Preserve.
Description: Florida Forever Acquisitions (layer name ff_acquired) is a polygon data layer for parcels that have been purchased using Florida Forever (FF) funding. This data layer is parcel-based and contains information pertaining to specific parcels that have been purchased with Florida Forever funds. Most of these parcels will also be incorporated into the Florida Natural Areas Inventory's Florida Managed Areas (FLMA) data layer, either as new managed areas (i.e., conservation lands) or additions to existing managed areas.
Description: The Inventory maintains the boundaries of all current Florida Forever environmental land acquisition projects approved by the State's Acquisition and Restoration Council and administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Division of State Lands, for the State Board of Trustees (BOT). These lands have been proposed for acquisition because of outstanding natural resources, opportunity for natural resource-based recreation, or historical and archaeological resources. This map does not include Florida Forever projects administered by the water management districts or by other state agencies. Note that boundaries of each Florida Forever BOT project are for the entire project, including areas that have already been acquired. The FFBOT data are updated approximately every two to four months.
Description: Florida Ecological Greenways Network 2021: This is a raster grid data created by the University of Florida Center for Landscape Conservation Planning to provide an ecological component to the Statewide Greenways System plan developed by the Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Greenways and Trails (OGT). The FEGN guides OGT ecological greenway conservation efforts and promotes public awareness of the need for and benefits of a statewide ecological greenways network. It is also used as the primary data layer to inform the Florida Forever and other state and regional land acquisition programs regarding the location of the most important wildlife and ecological corridors and large, intact landscapes in the state. The FEGN identifies areas of opportunity for protecting a statewide network of ecological hubs (large areas of ecological significance) and linkages designed to maintain large landscape-scale ecological functions including priority species habitat and ecosystem services throughout the state. Inclusion in the FEGN means the area is either part of a large landscape-scale “hub”, or an ecological corridor connecting two or more hubs. Hubs indicate core landscapes that are large enough to maintain populations of wide-ranging or fragmentation-sensitive species including black bear or panther and areas that are more likely to support functional ecosystem services. Highest priorities indicate the most significant hubs and corridors in relation to completing a functionally connected statewide ecological network, but all priority levels have conservation value. FEGN Priorities 1, 2, and 3 are the most important for protecting a ecologically functional connected statewide network of public and private conservation lands, and these three priority levels (P1, P2, and P3) are now called the Florida Wildlife Corridor as per the Florida Wildlife Corridor legislation passed and signed into law by the Florida Legislature and Governor and 2021, which makes protection of these wildlife and ecological hubs and corridors a high priority as part of a strategic plan for Florida’s future.
