Bobscapes
-
The “Bobscapes” Mobile App will help researchers better understand population dynamics and help managers direct resources for habitat work to the areas where those investments will be most effective in recovering the species. Additionally, for those interested, the app will connect landowners to technical experts who can make habitat recommendations and share information on voluntary cost share programs. Lastly, the data provided will assist wildlife biologists in creating a national habitat network of “Bobwhite landscapes” necessary to ensure this species persists for future generations!

State Priority Areas for WLFW NOBO, Grasslands, and Savannas
-
Beyond the national boundaries that each NRCS state offices selected, some chose to also identify priority areas that will be used in project ranking. (priority area shapefiles not uploaded yet!)

Attached shapefiles combine all of the state input to create one cohesive, national map for the framework. Some states also identified priority areas within these boundaries, and those are posted in this same folder.
