1 The GIS Behind Dakota County s FARMLAND AND NATURAL AREAS PROGRAM The Farmland and Natural Areas Program is a voluntary program in which Dakota County and other partners work with willing landowners to protect agricultural land and natural resources through conservation easements. The overall goal of the program is to protect agricultural areas while improving water quality and wildlife habitats and to protect, connect and manage natural areas.
2 The GIS Behind Dakota County s FARMLAND AND NATURAL AREAS PROGRAM To date, 2,651 acres of natural areas and 5,312 acres of farmland have been permanently protected under the program, worth an estimated $75 million. The Office of GIS and SWCD work cooperatively to develop GIS databases, layers, maps, and information critical to the implementation and success of this program.
