Other Citation Details
The Maine Conservation Lands Geodatabase is maintained and updated by the Maine Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. It includes most of the state, federal, and larger private conservation lands with legal protection in the state of Maine. It is however, not a complete picture of conservation in the state. Maine is home to many small land trusts, and much of their protection work is not captured in this dataset. TNC in Maine is working with both state agencies and land trusts to improve comprehensive updating and the overall content of this dataset. The polygons in this dataset are from a variety of sources and scales, ranging from 1:100,000 scale to high-accuracy digital surveys. In general the polygons representing TNC-owned or managed lands are most accurate

Maryland - Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation Easements/Districts (MALPF)
Series Information
Publication Information
Other Citation Details
The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF), housed within the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA), protects agricultural lands through the use of perpetual easements. This program was created by the Maryland General Assembly in 1977, is governed by the Agricultural Article, Sections 2-515 through 2-516 of the Annotated Code of Maryland. Described briefly, the process begins with an interested, qualified landowner voluntarily creating a district, containing one or more tracts of land. Easements may then be donated or purchased, protecting in perpetuity the land for agricultural purposes. There is a formal process for obtaining these designations, including the Maryland Board of Public Works approval. These data are intended for general guidance and use only.

Environmental Trust Easements (MET) - The Maryland Environmental Trust (MET) is a statewide local land trust governed by a citizen Board of Trustees. Since its creation by the General Assembly in 1967, MET's main goal is the preservation of open land, such as farmland, forest land, and significant natural resources. The primary tool for doing this is the conservation easement, a voluntary agreement between a landowner and the MET Board of Trustees.

Edition2007
Series Information

Forest Legacy Easements - The program is designed to identify and protect environmentally important forest lands through the use of perpetual conservation easements between willing sellers and willing buyers. Only private forest land in a Forest Legacy Area is eligible for the program. Landowners who are willing to sell their development rights are encouraged to apply during a sign-up period. At the end of a sign-up period, all applications will be evaluated and ranked. The highest ranked applications will enter the acquisition process. If negotiations produce acceptable easement terms, the easement will be acquired and recorded in the land records. If they do not produce acceptable terms, eminent domain will NOT be used. The number of parcels accepted for acquisition will depend on the funding available and the estimated value of the parcels selected.

Overview: This data layer combines the most current known parcels of land in New York state that have some level of protection and/or management taking place. This 2012 submission just updates TNC properties. Previous data was compiled from several data sources which include New York DEC, New York DEP, New York OPRHP, New York State Civil and Public Boundaries, TNC survey information, and local land trusts. An effort was made to delete overlapping polygons where more than one dataset contained the same data. Data that was deemed the most accurate and representative of the fee owner was chosen during this selection/deletion process. Overlapping polygons due to disparate data sources were reconciled where there was major overlap. Smaller overlaps including sliver polygons were not edited.

Local and regional parks are included where digital data exist for these features but such data is not comprehensive statewide. Similarly, many non-profit and land trust holdings and easements are included where they are available digitally but comprehensive statewide data for these features is not available. Local and private conservation lands are added as they become available.
