Digital National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps are created by digitizing existing paper maps or updating maps based on new aerial photography. These maps are then used to summarize the types, abundance, and distribution of wetlands in a defined geographic area. Field-based assessments are conducted to examine the ecological condition and stressors present at individual wetlands. These assessments can be used to provide an overall picture of wetlands across the study area. The overall goal of the basin-wide assessments, as well as this study, is to provide land managers with information to inform conservation and restoration efforts.born digitalreportseng©2015 Colorado Natural Heritage Program.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
