Great open data layer to supplement the topographic vegetation. Perhaps we could all do our own "fieldwork" and feed back areas that need reclassification in version 3? Note that Agriquality staff travelled over 60,000 km checking version 2.

Here is my first fieldcheck for LCDB3: Polygon 83256 (173 39.8444 -35 13.6531 ) lcdb2 class 65 (Pine Forest - Open Canopy) should be 67 (Other Exotic Forest) because it is a mature stand of Macrocarpa and other trees. Photo available.

Hi Kim. We would certainly support any feedback people have on the data quality. I have passed your submission to our LUCAS team who also have an interest in improving data quality.
