The Background raster layer is part of the Upper Neuse-New Hope Landscape Habitat Connectivity Network, a GIS model developed initially for the Triangle Connectivity Collaborative and expanded and updated for the Durham County Open Space Program to include the entirety of Durham County. The Background layer classifies areas not modeled as Habitat Patches as habitat fragment, non-habitat, or barrier to movement for development-sensitive terrestrial wildlife species ("priority species") that occur in the project area and are indicators of landscape habitat integrity. The Background layer should be interpreted only in conjunction with the Habitat Patches and Corridors layers, which are also part of the Upper Neuse-New Hope Landscape Habitat Connectivity Network data set. The layer is intended to be used as an aid to conservation planning only. Current habitat conditions should be verified by biological surveys.
