Description: NOTE! With this update, the Vermont Protected Lands Database (VPLD) "CadastralConserved_PROTECTEDLND" now officially supersedes "CadastralPublands_CONSPUB". Features (651 records total) not originally migrated from CONSPUB were identified and reviewed on a record-by-record basis in concert with supporting data. Future releases of Protected Lands will incrementally resolve any existing overlapping features, any valid topology errors and attribution. The VPLD layer adheres to an updated data standard and schema finalized in June 2016 by a committee of state and regional stakeholders. "CONSPUB" was originally a project of the University of Vermont Spatial Analysis Lab with many of the original cooperating organizations still involved with the new effort. Current partners include: The Nature Conservancy (TNC), The UVM Spatial Analysis Lab (UVM-SAL), U.S. Forest Service Green Mountain National Forest (USFS-GMNF), USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), VT Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), VT Center for Geographic Information (ACCD-VCGI), VT Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB), VT Land Trust (VLT) and regional planning commissions throughout the state. Other state level, non-profit and regional entities also contribute to this dataset. The VPLD is based on an updated version of the original Protected Lands Coding Scheme reflecting decisions made by the Protected Lands Database Work Group to plan for a sustainable update process for this important geospatial data layer. VCGI has agreed to coordinate a distributed data maintenance and compilation effort for updates adhering to this data standard and welcomes additional submissions.
