    • FWS Approved Acquisition Boundaries

    Metadata Updated: April 12, 2025

    This data layer depicts the external boundaries of areas approved for acquisition of lands and waters by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in North America, U.S. Trust Territories and Possessions from willing sellers. This boundary does not represent the lands and waters administered by the USFWS. That data is found in the FWS National Realty Tracts GIS layer. The primary source for this information is the USFWS Realty program.
