1 Status of New Hampshire s Conservation Lands SB 388 and beyond April 2015
2 Purpose of the SB 388 Study Committee Current composition of conservation lands: Acreage & percentage resource protection Geographic distribution Entities holding lands Identify strengths and weaknesses of current portfolio (public and private) in relation to: Drinking water supplies Land base for farming and forestry Protection fish and wildlife habitat Providing outdoor recreation opportunities
3 Methodology & Data Sources Study Methods: Best available natural resource GIS datasets Statewide scope & scale Augmented GRANIT conservation lands datalayer Key datasets: Habitat Wildlife Action Plan, Natural Heritage EOs, large forest blocks Wetlands USFWS National Wetlands Inventory & hydric soils data Land Cover USGS national land cover data set, updated every ~5 years Farm Soils lands with prime, statewide important agricultural soils Drinking water source water protection areas, wellhead protection areas, aquifers Forestry productive forest soils
4 What is Protected Land? Permanently Protected: Permanently protected by legal means Cannot be developed Remains in a largely natural status Agricultural & forestry uses permitted except on ecologically significant lands Current Status of GRANIT data: 4% of database is not legally protected, but has mandates to manage for natural land cover (e.g., Dartmouth s Second College Grant 1% is unprotected but 50% or more land in natural condition Another 5% is of unknown status

27 Next steps with SB 388 Committee recommendations included: Fully fund LCHIP and constitutionally protect dedicated funds State funding of existing programs: Agricultural land program (ALP) and Source Water protection fund Create Legislative Commission to develop NH priorities for future state investments in land conservation (SB38)
