GIS in land conservation. Brian Hall brianhallconservation@gmail.com 10/3/2017

What is a Geographic Information System (GIS)?

Layers Map

Attributes Layers are made of shapes and a table. Each shape has a row in the table with its attributes

Examples of Layers: Town parcels Protected open space Roads Landcover: forests, farms, developed areas, water, wetlands Census Blocks/Tracts Schools Rare species habitats Groundwater protection areas Soil types Elevation, slope Other really cool things Etc!

Uses: Information management Making maps Visualizing relationship

Why Should Land Trusts Care About GIS / Mapping??

Administration Fulfill Mission (Strategic Conservation Planning) Outreach/PR Land Stewardship

Framework for Property Record Keeping

Property Stewardship Records Points and red track imported from GPS

Public Outreach Kiosk Maps: The Trustees Newsletter Graphics: Sierra Watch Online: Connecticut Forest And Parks Assn. Locational Maps: Waterford Land Trust

Strategic Conservation Planning North Quabbin Regional Landscape Partnership

Strategic Conservation Planning - Benefits Focus - don t just react More efficient (time and money) More effective (focus on the right lands) Steward donors money and volunteers time better Get more grants! Your Vision/Mission drives the planning not the GIS!!!

Strategic Planning With The MassConn Sustainable Forest Partnership A Regional Conservation Partnership (RCP) Case Study

MassConn Formation

MassConn Special Features Big forests

MassConn Organization Structure: 27 partner orgs (5 or 6 very active) 39 towns Regional landtrusts, local landtrusts (no staff), colleges, towns, Informal organization, Part-time coordinator, steering committee

MassConn Partnership Activities Landowner Outreach: Woods Walks Forestry Consultations USFS Landscape Scale Restoration Program Marketing Research / Campaigns My MassConn Woods (website) Landowner Contact Database

MassConn Partnership Activities Land Protection: Letters of Support with Regional Importance Influence MA Forest Legacy Program Received Forest Legacy Grant Jessie B. Cox Charitable Trust Donated Land and Easement $100,000 RCPP Program With SNEHF $6.1 Million

MassConn Partnership Activities Strategic Conservation Plan Regional Strategic Conservation Plan Adaptable Parcel Valuation Analysis / MassConn Mapper

MassConn Partnership Activities Strategic Conservation Plan Conservation Vision We protect high-quality natural lands, that are the home for rare and diverse species, both now and in the future. The lands are large and well connected so species can roam around the landscape.

Adaptable Parcel Valuation Tool: Tables can be exported to Excel

Adaptable Parcel Valuation Tool: - Which parcels meet the criteria of a new grant RFP? Which landowners should we talk to? Do a simple query (example with APR):

Adaptable Parcel Valuation Tool: How important is a parcel for biodiversity? What are its strengths? What type of grant should we apply for?

Adaptable Parcel Valuation Tool: Who owns a parcel of interest?

MassConn Mapper Demo

Regional Conservation Partnerships (RCPs)

RCP Characteristics Some shared geography Formal or informal structure Member orgs keep their own identity and conservation goals Works on shared partnership-level goals Philosophy intent is to help members, partnership is not mission

Discussion: Why a partnership what are the benefits?

Why form a Partnership Conserve better lands Protect current preserves better Local protection in regional context More capacity for member orgs (leadership, technical expertise, etc.) More attractive for grants / technical assistance Share workloads Sounding boards More fun

Discussion: 1) What is special about New London County?

Discussion: 2) What land conservation values do we have in common?

Discussion: 3) What things from outside your landtrust s region affect your preserves now and in near future?

Demo southeastern CT data Rough, Rough, Conceptual Draft

Discussion: 1) What did you learn from the webmap?

GIS project next steps (next year): Hunter - gather LT parcels* Brian - makes all protected openspace parcels fit parcel layers better Landtrusts - Find missing protected openspace parcels* Brian - Make final parcel viewer All of us determine future GIS project?
