Staff records roadkill locations in the WIMS database as geographic coordinates, which were then exported into Microsoft Excel as a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet data were imported into ESRI ArcMap 10.3.1 as an XY event and converted into a point shapefile. The shapefile was QA/QC'd against county boundaries layer in data library. Questionable records were individually examined and corrected as appropriate.

Julia Davis received Bear Roadkill dataset from Bethan Roberts in the form of a shapefile. Reprojected, QA/QC'd data, and updated metadata.
