GRANIT data listing identifies conservation landholders in Sandwich and Tamworth; committee to build missing local layers
Summary
David Little provided post‑meeting GRANIT extracts naming owners and easement holders for Sandwich and Tamworth (including federal agencies, UNH, LRCT, SPNHF and others); committee noted that USVLT lacks coverage for these towns and will need to construct local layers or request them from LRCT.
After the informal July 21 meeting, David Little circulated conservation‑layer information from GRANIT listing owners and easement holders for Sandwich and Tamworth, naming federal and non‑profit holders such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Forest Service, NRCS), University of New Hampshire, Lakes Region Conservation Trust, New England Forestry Foundation, Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and The Nature Conservancy. The minutes record that "David provided this information shortly after this informal meeting" and include the agency lists for both Sandwich and Tamworth.
David also flagged a gap: "USVLT does not cover Tamworth & Sandwich, so their co‑occurrence mapping does not have layers for our towns," which the committee said would require building local layers or asking LRCT and other regional trusts to share data. Members noted potential local partners including Black Bear Conservation Foundation and Chocorua Lake Conservation Foundation for follow‑up on easement interest and data sharing.
