Methodology -
Large ownerships were identified and verified through a
variety of sources. Bill Snow of the Use Value Appraisal
(UVA) program prepared a list of owners of parcels
enrolled in the UVA program which met project criteria.
This list was cross-checked with information from six
county foresters in the study area. Private foresters, town
clerks, land specialists with a variety of conservation
organizations, and the Vermont Timber Land Owners
Association provided names of possible large
landowners. A letter describing the project, and seeking
information and cooperation, was sent by Conrad Motyka,
Vermont Commissioner of Forests, Parks and Recreation
to the 32 owners potentially identified as owning 5000
acres or more in the study area. Responses with usable
information were obtained from 17 land owners. The final
study includes 10 individual and corporate owners verified
by this process. These owners are identified in Appendix I.
An existing arc-info large-scale digital coverage of forest
land ownerships in the study area was obtained from
James A. Sewall Company of Old Town, Maine. This
coverage became the starting point for assembling the
data for this project. The accuracy of individual parcels in
the Sewall coverage was verified wherever possible, and
was improved in many cases by obtaining more reliable
data from county foresters, regional planning
commissions, tax maps, and cooperating landowners. In
the case of Landowner "A", parcel boundaries were
extensively modified after consultation with the help of
county foresters. The parcels of owners not appearing
in the Sewall coverage were drawn on mylar at USGS
Topographic Map scale from the most reliable source
available and scanned into Arc-Info format. Many parcels
in Lamoille County were obtained in Arc-Info format directly
from existing digitized tax maps. Where acreage
information from multiple sources was conflicting, the most
reliable source was used, but others are noted as
"additional information" in the data base. The original
map source of each parcel polygon is noted in the data
base under the category "source".

Following the Northern Forest Resource Inventory Guidelines of
October 1992, the Northeastern Vermont Development Association
(NVDA) has researched and compiled maps with an accompanying data
base displaying the large forest land ownership blocks in the
Northern Forest Land Study area of Vermont. Owners of at least
5000 acres of forest land are included in this study regardless of
how the acreage is distributed. Non-contiguous parcels of less
than 100 acres were not included in this study. These guidelines
mean that some potentially significant ownerships of over 4000
acres do not appear in the study. This Large Blocks Data Layer
adds to the body of economic and resource information gathered by
the Northern Forest Lands Council since 1990. Although every
effort was made to assure accuracy of both parcel size and location
as they appear on the project maps, limitations in source material
available will inevitably have caused some inaccuracies.
The project maps are intended to be useful tools for landowners,
resource managers and policy makers in developing ways to maintain
northern Vermont's working forest.
The source of information is noted for each parcel and the
accuracy of the information will vary by source. For example, data
from digitized tax maps may be more reliable than a map submiitted to
the UVA program which was hand-drawn by a consulting forester. In
every case, the most reliable source of data was used. A conscientious
effort was made to notify all the landowners who are included in the
study prior to the mapping process and to seek their cooperation. The
data used in this study was either public information or obtained directly
from the individual landowner.
