Item Information

snippet:	This dataset represents seamless land parcel data across the Kittatinny Ridge landscape in Pennsylvania, incorporating resilient areas in the Tuscarora Mountains, the Schuylkill Ridges, and the Poconos. This dataset includes parcels greater than 10 acres that are not conserved. Note that, when combined with the master database of conserved land, wall-to-wall coverage is available within the assessment boundary. In other words, a parcel is either conserved or unconserved, so every parcel >10 acres should be in one of the datasets.
summary:	This dataset represents seamless land parcel data across the Kittatinny Ridge landscape in Pennsylvania, incorporating resilient areas in the Tuscarora Mountains, the Schuylkill Ridges, and the Poconos. This dataset includes parcels greater than 10 acres that are not conserved. Note that, when combined with the master database of conserved land, wall-to-wall coverage is available within the assessment boundary. In other words, a parcel is either conserved or unconserved, so every parcel >10 acres should be in one of the datasets.
accessInformation:	These data were produced by the Center for Land Use and Sustainability (CLUS) at Shippensburg University and are current as of May 20, 2020. The principal investigator is Dr. Claire Jantz (cajant@ship.edu). CLUS fellow Matt Ostap and Penn State graduate student Jon Chester are the producers. This work was funded by the Kittatinny Coalition. In September 2020, The Nature Conservancy edited the datasets produced by CLUS (a) to correct selection errors related to conserved parcels, (b) to redefine adjacency to conserved land (as within 50m rather than 1km) and recalculate the Parcel Category field accordingly, and (c) to remove road right-of-way and creek parcels in Cumberland County from the unconserved lands dataset. TNC also updated the metadata and created a data package for sharing with Kittatinny Coalition partners.
