Southeast Watershed Forum Announces New Online Mapping Service

From the Southeast Wathershed Forum Newsletter

This month the Southeast Watershed Forum launches a new and valuable resource for land and water protection. The Community Resource Mapper provides a free, user-friendly, on-line mapping service that will help communities integrate natural resource protection into their land use planning efforts.

Visitors to the site can create maps at a county, watershed or state level, that compare impaired streams, impervious surface, protected lands, wetlands, State Wildlife Action Plans and much more. The Mapper is unique in that it blends private data with a variety of public data sources and allows the integration of multiple resource layers for a custom view of your community. Much of this resource data is overlooked in the local comprehensive planning process.
