This dataset is an extract of the full PAD-US (CBI Edition) Version 2.1 for Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. PAD-US (CBI Edition) Version 2.1 is a national database of protected fee lands in the United States. PAD-US (CBI Edition) Version 2.1 has been enhanced to include information on establishment dates along with the standardized attribute information of previous versions on ownership, land management designation and conservation status. PAD-US (CBI Edition) Version 2.1 is limited to the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. It does not include protected areas data for U.S. territories at this time. PAD-US (CBI Edition) Version 2.1 is a preliminary pass at assigning establishment dates for the national database, with a primary focus on federal lands held by Bureau of Land Management, USDA Forest Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service and National Park Service. A total of 2088 protected areas records were assigned establishment dates in this version.

PAD-US (CBI Edition) Version 2.1 was updated on September 1, 2016 to reflect final "Reserved Status" codes from US Forestry Inventory and Analysis (FIA) assigned to all protected areas in the database.In November 2016, DNR staff edited out erroneous attribute values for a record (with OBJECTID = 166) representing a property in Milwaukee County owned by the US government. In October, 2019, DNR staff altered the geometry of the Bluewing Waterfowl Production Area in Grafton, WI (OBJECTID = 184) to match the current US Fish and Wildlife Service data. |
