NJ Highlands CouncilAn important factor in protecting environmentally critical areas is identifying existing preserved lands in the Highlands Region and the resources that are already protected. This data contains tax parcels in the Highlands Region that are primarily preserved open space or preserved farmland in a combination of federal, State, county municipal, nonprofit, and private ownership. These lands represent a diverse catalog of the public and private land and water areas available for recreation or presently protected as open space. Developing a comprehensive open space dataset throughout the Highlands Region is a highly complex undertaking. There are over a dozen agencies and organizations which contribute to open space identification and each has its own structure for recording open space data to meet its business model. Time, accuracy, precision and completeness differences all play a role in making the assemblage a difficult and imprecise product.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/b69fb0a8c1ea40e0bb3cc0706f17e021_1engNew Jersey Geographic Information Network (NJGIN) Open Data PortalPublicPreserved Lands [New Jersey]Web servicesNew JerseyLast Modified: 2018-04-17
