This pilot project will develop a pilot terrestrial wildlife habitat map that will provide the necessary guidance for completing a statewide map. The pilot project will focus on two representative study areas that will cover a breadth of New Mexico habitats: 1) a Greater Sevilleta Site with grasslands, desert scrub, open conifer woodlands on the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding BLM and state lands; and 2) an Eastern Jemez Mountains site with montane forest and woodlands will include portions of the Valles Caldera National Preserve, Bandelier National Monument and surrounding USFS lands, but not tribal lands or Los Alamos National Laboratory.
