Greetings NCED users and data providers!

Corrections and revisions to the National Conservation Easement Database for 2016 are now available for download.  Visit the NCED  website  to search, review, and download the latest updates to the database. 

Don't forget, our team can work with you to edit or improve your data for NCED. We can help collect easement shapefiles, or will work to digitize from paper maps.

We had a great time meeting many of you at the Land Trust Alliance Rally last weekend in Minneapolis. Thanks to all who stopped by our table to chat about data and the NCED! We will follow up with those of you who indicated we are missing information on some of your easements.

Sincerely,
The NCED Team
