The Wetlands Program is seeking to contract out the creation of high quality National Wetlands Inventory Plus (NWIPlus) level mapping of the Missisquoi subbasin in Vermont, where Program staff will conduct ground truthing of data. NWIPlus is an enhanced NWI product with hydrogeomorphic-type descriptors that can facilitate predicting wetland functions. The enhanced attributes describe wetland landform, water flow path and water body type. The updated mapping will serve as a pilot project for how we can improve mapping throughout the State, will be utilized by developers and landowners to avoid wetland impacts, and will be incorporated into several state models which identify potential wetland restoration projects and conservation priorities. Finalized mapping will be made available through Vermont’s Open Data Portal and applications like ANR’s Natural Resource Atlas and submitted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service for addition to the National Wetlands Inventory.
