Thanks for those details, Kevin. The comparison is very helpful. The GMNF seems to have only 3 classifications that I've been able to find:
- Wilderness -- which should probably be protected_class=1b - National Recreation Area -- protected_class=5 (Wikipedia page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moosalamoo_National_Recreation_Area> notes the ICUN class) - everything else -- probably protected_class=6 Thanks again for the feedback!
