Authors:

Publication Date:
December, 2000
Abstract:
In Pennsylvania, counties have adopted a Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) ranking system to prioritize applications for the Agricultural Conservation Easements Purchase Program. An ArcView Interface developed cooperatively between Penn State RGIS-Chesapeake and the Cooperative Extension GIS program has automated this process, helping counties to increase efficiency and allowing them to evaluate numerous scenarios in a single session.
