California Protected Areas Database is released

From Ryan Branciforte: the new data depicting CA protected lands (exclusive of easements) is ready. The California Protected Areas Database (CPAD) is a GIS inventory of all protected open space lands in the State of California. The database contains lands held in fee ownership by public agencies and non-profits - it does not contain data on private conservation and other similar public agency easements. Version 1.0 of CPAD was released on May 1, 2008.
