As a result of this project, 14,137 new easements from 413 holders were added to the National Conservation Easement Database; this represents a 16% increase in number of easements in the Database. Most of these easements were from local governments and NGOs. More than 600 easements were digitized, making them available for planning and analysis purposes. More than 3,000 easements were updated to correct information such as boundaries. Significant outreach to the LCC community was made through personal contact and a webinar; all LCC’s now have access to the National Conservation Easement Database, which includes more than 100,000 easements protecting 20 million acres. Improvements in communication and standardization were made across federal agencies, which will enhance conservation planning and assessment efforts in the future. The National Conservation Easement Database is the only comprehensive system for accessing and tracking information on this essential conservation tool.
