Jonathan,
Check out the National Atlas.
http://nationalatlas.gov
It has downloadable raw data in a mix of formats such as ESRI Shapefile
(.shp),
ESRI ArcInfo Export (.e00), and the federal Spatial Data Transfer Standard
(SDTS). The Atlas' boundaries section contains a layer of federal lands and a
layer of Wilderness Peservation System Areas. There are also a number of other
interesting layers that are useful for basemap, references or other
comparisons. While this will provide good information on federal lands, for
state and local parks, you may need to obtain data from each state and local
agency.
You can access the National Atlas raw data download page at:
http://nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html
There are also some data layers available for the North American Atlas at:
http://nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp-na.html
Hope that helps.

Quoting Jonathan Greenberg <[email protected]>:
Ecologgers:
Does anyone know if there is a GIS layer that contains coverages for
all protected regions in North America (e.g. national, state and local
parks, private and non-profit wildlife preserves, etc.)? Thanks!
