This map shows a variety of datasets developed to be more spatially explicit and
accurate at a very local scale. What is shown can generally be used effectively
on the scale of an individual parcel with a couple caveats. First, the background
for this map is the Wildlife Habitat Suitability Analysis which is a computer
TH

model created at a statewide scale. This is a generalized model more

RD
24

appropriate for Map 3 or Map 4 but was included here to provide statewide
LO
OL

perspective. It is NOT accurate at a parcel scale. Second, the rest of the

NH

coverages are appropriate for a local scale, but aren't comprehensive. If, for
TOW N L
IN E R D example, we look at the Rare, Threatened and Endangered (RTE) species
coverage, we'll see that each place that is marked is accurate spatially. But we
haven't inventoried every place in Vermont, so it isn't an exhaustive list. A mark
for an RTE species on the map is definitely accurate, but the absence of an RTE
mark is NOT a definite sign that there are not rare species present since that

spot might not have been inventoried. The point here is to know exactly what

site-specific planning.

ND Data at this scale can help round out the patterns seen in Map 3 and Map 4.
Start with those two maps in working to understand the patterns across your
ROCHESTER town or region, then move to this one to get a sense of what else might be
known about the areas you're interested in. As noted in Map 4, the pattern of
where our largest areas of contiguous habitat are found is biased towards the

uplands and away from lower elevation wetlands and riparian habitats. This

map, with coverages showing wetland feeding locations, can help you to

understand other areas of biological interest. Within an area identified as a

greater biological diversity and give you a sense of what species use these areas.
