Abstract:
This file represents open space within the NJ Highlands Region. This file is a compilation of many different data sources that include federal, county, local, and non-profit groups.
Purpose:
This data layer is important in determining existing open space within the Highlands Region. It will serve as the basis of compiling and maintaining open space lands within the NJ Highlands Region.
Supplemental_Information:
Throughout the NJ Highlands Region, open space continually evolves. This file was compiled from numerous sources and the currentness is based on the date data was received from a particular source. Sources and currentness are referenced in the cross reference section of this metadata. All data was attributed to 2007 MODIV records.
