Abstract:
This shapefile contains location information on the Red Cockaded Woodpecker collected by various state and federal agencies including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. There is no attribute data for these RCW locations. Data were compiled by requesting information from a variety of federal, state, and local biologists, RCW researchers, and area managers who provided the information they had on hand. None of the data were collected in any standardized format nor under any certain protocol. Similar data, e.g., date recorded, location accuracy level, active/inactive status, were not collected or maintained between sites. The data set includes locations of active and inactive nest trees and centroids of cluster locations. The best description of those data would be as general locations of where RCWs have previously occurred. We urge caution against their use as definitive representation of RCW occurrence.
Purpose:
These data are available for all people interested in the Red Cockaded Woodpecker in the state of Florida

Process_Description:
GeoPlan received the data in September 2010 from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission via CD-ROM. The data was in the Florida Modified Albers projected coordinate system. - Dataset's projection was re-defined from Florida Modified Albers to FGDL Albers. - Renamed the dataset from RedCockedWoodpecker to rc_woodpecker_2005 - Added a SPECIES field based on the scientific species name. - Added a DESCRIPT field based on the common species name. - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date FGDL acquired the data.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
