July 2015

Greetings,

Since our September 2014 release, we have focused on collecting conservation easement information in seven states, most of which are in the southeast. In total, we added almost 10,000 easements or just over 2.3 million acres. Modifications were made in all 50 states. Please visit the website in order to download, search, and review the latest updates to the database.

Please stay in touch regarding ways you've found NCED to be helpful in your work.
