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. \n\nIn 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.",
