The Background raster layer is part of the Upper Neuse-New Hope Landscape Habitat Connectivity Network, a GIS model developed initially for the Eno-New Hope Landscape Conservation Project and expanded and updated for the Durham County Open Space Program to include the entirety of Durham County. The Background layer classifies areas not modeled as Habitat Patches as habitat fragment, non-habitat, or barrier to movement for development-sensitive terrestrial wildlife species (\"priority species\") that occur in the project area and are indicators of landscape habitat integrity. The Background layer should be interpreted only in conjunction with the Habitat Patches and Corridors layers, which are also part of the Upper Neuse-New Hope Landscape Habitat Connectivity Network data set. The layer is intended to be used as an aid to conservation planning only. Current habitat conditions should be verified by biological surveys.<\/SPAN> <\/SPAN>Visit <\/SPAN>the Durham County Open Space Program website<\/SPAN><\/A> for more information.

The Upper-New Hope Landscape Habitat Connectivity Network data are provided for use in research, education, environmental review, assessment, and project planning.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The raster cell values in this data set were developed from a wide variety of data sources, including federal and state agencies, local governments, and land trusts, and each data set has its own set of locational and classification errors. Because of these inaccuracies, these data are intended to be used as an aid to conservation planning only. These data are not intended to indicate the authoritative location of property boundaries, shape or contour of the earth, or fixed works. These data are not a survey and do not meet the minimum accuracy standards of a Land Information System/Geographic Information System Survey in North Carolina (21 NCAC 56.1608). Inclusion of an area in this data set in no way implies that the area is open to the public.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Upper-New Hope Landscape Habitat Connectivity Network data require some understanding of the project methods and definitions for proper use and analysis.<\/SPAN> <\/SPAN>Please visit <\/SPAN>the Durham County Open Space Program website<\/SPAN><\/A> and <\/SPAN>the Eno-New Hope Landscape Conservation Group website<\/SPAN><\/A> to access the 2022 and 2019 project reports, respectively. Questions about these data should be directed to Durham County Open Space Program staff (Celeste Burns, cburns@dconc.gov).<\/SPAN><\/P>
