Preserved Land/Open Space Mapping in NJ: A Collaboration Success Story
Track: Cadastral and Land Records
Authors: Andy Rowan, Sean McGinnis

A grassroots proposal to create a statewide database of preserved land and open space rose through the New Jersey Geospatial Forum, the state�s coordinating body. A volunteer task force defined the requirements and logical database design. The project�s proponents were then able to secure funding from the state�s Green Acres Program to implement the system. Once completed, a web-based system will allow authorized contributors from all levels of government and land trusts to create and edit data.
