Abstract:
Large ownerships were identified and verified through a variety of sources.
Purpose: Large forest land ownership blocks
Supplemental_Information:
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".

Completeness_Report:
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.
