Northeast Landscape Conservation Design Proposal (Handout 5a)

This is the draft of the Northeast Landscape Conservation Design Proposal presented at the February 3, 2012 NALCC Steering Committee meeting. The goal of the NLCD is to "Establish cooperative means to make existing and future conservation design information and tools more available and accessible to conservation partners; to produce composite maps depicting landscape conservation designs; and to develop spatial data layers summarizing environmental conditions affecting a suite of important ecological and cultural resource elements in the Northeast."
