Overview
As wetlands are one of the 14 Montana Framework Layers, our goal is to create a state- wide digital wetland and riparian layer as a resource for management, planning, and restoration efforts.
With support from Montana’s Wetland Council and our other partners, the Center maps wetlands and riparian areas to FGDC and USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) standards.
Additionally, the NWI wetlands are supplemented with hydro- geomorphic (HGM) modifiers to link wetland type with potential function.
Digital wetland mapping is necessary to effectively and efficiently assess Montana’s wetlands by identifying the type, size, and location of wetland resources.
