Stewardship potential classes were determined by Natural Breaks using data only for South Carolina.
Includes only Certified Forest Stewardship Plans prior to FY 2008. Includes all Stewardship Plans for FY2008 and FY2009.
This analysis was produced as part of the Southern Forest Land
Assessment, a cooperative project of the Southern Group of State
Foresters to spatially identify important forest lands in the 13
southern states and Puerto Rico. It was funded by a Forest
Stewardship Program grant from the USDA Forest Service.
