Pasture is a feature class in the Rangeland Management data set. It represents the area boundaries of livestock grazing pastures. The area corresponds to tabular data in the RIMS (Rangeland Information Management System).
The Pasture feature class designates boundaries to establish extent of livestock distribution and management within pastures. This is a published layer created by combining GIS data managed by each National Forest and attribute data stored in the Forest Service Infra database application. This dataset is designed for reporting and analysis and is not used to enter or edit data. The data will be used to create permit maps, field working maps and any other logical uses that the internal and external public may determine this information is helpful for.

Data stewards have been relied on to validate the data quality and accuracy of the boundaries for allotments, pastures, and key areas. Pasture and key area boundaries have been identified using various methods through the years like GPS or digitizing. Spatial data comes from the district and is consolidated at the forest level. This will be a consolidated national extent of the data entered at the lowest level of the agency. Data quality is dependent on quality data maintenance by local data stewards. By having the ETL create the allotment feature class from all active pastures the quality of that data will be directly dependent on the pasture data.
This data is current only as of the date of publication and may change daily. The need for a daily refresh is key to incorporate any and all local changes as they are made and keep the data in EDW fresh.
Positional accuracy is verified by visual comparison to source datasets
Data is the result of a national data call where local units were asked to identify and provide spatial and tabular data to represent pastures and key areas with the intent to have the allotment feature class created based on active pastures. Local units are to follow the current GIS Data Dictionaries and load their local data into the appropriate SDE to be collected and merged into a national extent.
