Map One shows how elements from the Rapid analysis might appear. Map Two unifies these elements into Primary Conservation Areas. Some of these data are available through GIS, but many important secondary conservation elements have to be determined in the field. Soil data revealed that there is no Prime or Important Farmland on the site. Land use data reveal where there the site is forested, but does not identify tree age or significance.
Agriculture is shown to highlight resource value and viewshed.
RI Natural Heritage Program data reveal rare species sites nearby, and DEM Scenic Area data identify an important viewshed at the front of the site. A site walk is necessary to identify significant tree stands and other features such as stone walls that should be preserved. Map Three shows again how elements from the Rapid analysis might appear. Nearby open space is included to possible connections. Map Four unifies these elements into Secondary Conservation Areas and adds in Primary Conservation Areas.
