KML Maps: Agricultural Easements In NYS
About Agricultural Easements In NYS ....
Yesterday I posted a map of conservation easements in the Adirondacks. Most of them are timber easements which by definition are quite large. Agricultural easements, which focus on preventing farm land development are much smaller typically as individual farm patcels are much smaller in New York State. Many of the easements are in high development, high tax areas like the Hudson Valley, especially the Taconics but also development rights have been purchased for areas with particularly high quality soils like the Genesee Valley.
