Title:
Bioblitz zones for Erie Bluffs State Park
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data

Description:
Abstract:
This shapefile is representative of the five zones which Erie Bluffs State Park was split into for the Bioblitzes (24 hour inventory of all living things in the park) of May 14,15  2004 and July 16, 17 2004.  These zones are split more or less by the different natural community types within the park.
Purpose:
This shapefile was developed as a way to split the park for the bioblitz and also as a way to divide the park into the five most easily discerned ecologically distinct areas.
