Parcel Prioritization Analysis Handbook

This handbook outlines a parcel prioritization analysis developed for the Weantinoge Heritage Land Trust (now Northwest CT Land Conservancy) to guide land conservation in Litchfield County and Sherman, CT. Using data-driven methods, it evaluates factors like climate resilience, habitat quality, water resources, and connectivity to inform conservation priorities. With a repeatable GIS-based model, land trusts can adjust priorities over time to ensure they are protecting the most ecologically significant lands.
