Abstract
[Vector dataset provides an aggregate layer of conservation easements received from each state used to identify, monitor, and enhance the spatial accuracy of restoration program polygons. Includes all US states, territories and possessions.]
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.

Description
[EASEMENTS is a national layer of conservation easement polygons that represents where a voluntary, legally binding contract/agreement between landowners and the USDA, that limit certain types of uses or prevents development from taking place on a piece of property now and in the future, for the stated purpose of protecting the property's ecological or open-space agricultural values, are located. Easement datasets received from states are brought into ArcMap to assess projection and validity. Re-projected as needed. Easements with inaccurate or missing attribute data are returned to the states through a check in/check out procedure. 100% of easement state layers, merged with the national easement authoritative easement layer have the proper attribution. Ongoing effort to correct and standardize attributes and identify geometry issues such as overlaps - input from the states required to resolve most of these issues and acquired through a check in/check out procedure. Loaded into SDE. These spatial easement boundaries are not a representation of the legal easement boundary and should not be used for any purposes beyond general planning.]
