100,000 acres
Notes: Nature Conservancy and Land Trust data include all acres protected, including farmland acres. Acres protected by local, State, and Federal governments are limited to farmland acres. May include some double counting of protected areas by different entities that collaborate to protect particular parcels of farmland. Nature Conservancy figures include purchases of fee-simple interests in land, in addition to acres on which only a conservation easement was purchased.
Sources: Nature Conservancy data compiled by ERS from Wiebe, 1999; local and regional trust data from Land Trust Alliance 2003 data (www.lta.org); farmland acres protected by State and local governments are from AFT (2004a,b) (www.farmlandinfo.org); farmland acres protected by Federal Government through Sept. 2004 are from data provided by NRCS, 2005.
