What is the National Integrated Land System (NILS) Project and what is our involvement?
The NILS Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and USDA Forest Service (USFS) sponsored effort to build cadastral data standards directly into GIS software. The DNR was invited to participate in this project as a representative of the Washington Cadastral Framework Project partners. Participation in this national project will afford a unique opportunity to integrate Washington’s specific cadastral needs into this national project and influence the resulting GIS software.
