The purpose of this map is to highlight the current extent of the native Atlantic White Cedar wetlands in New Bedford, Massachusetts and showcase the impact of urban development on habitat loss and potential areas for Atlantic White Cedar regrowth.

All data sources were collected through the Massachusetts Oliver GIS Web portal (http://maps.massgis.state.ma.us/map_ol/oliver.php). These distinct layers include soils, urban fill, and wetlands which have been processed using geoprocessing tools in QGIS to select important area boundaries and features. They were further transformed into geojson files and processed using mapboxGL to develop an interactive map.
