CCED Administrator, GreenInfo Network20140204CCED_nightlyConservation easements are legal restrictions created by a contract between a land owner and a qualified agency or organization that are usually based on limiting the future uses of a property to those compatible with open space, conservation, farming or other defined uses. Such easements reduce or remove development opportunities on these lands. The California Conservation Easement Database (CCED) inventories such easements held in perpetuity or for at least 10 years by public and nonprofit organizations. This release of CCED includes most conservation easements, but is incomplete for two large easement holders, the Calif. Dept. of Fish & Wildlife and the California Rangeland Trust. Data sources for CCED include easement holding organizations and records from the Calif. Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) and the Bay Area Open Space Council - note that all easements in California are officially filed with the relevant County Recorder’s office and are public records data. CCED is an element in the National Conservation Easement Database (NCED).The California Conservation Easement Database (CCED) inventories mainly privately owned lands that have been protected through conservation or open space easements. A separate database (CPAD – the California Protected Areas Database) tracks open lands owned outright (“in fee”) by public agencies and nonprofits. This data set's primary purpose is to support multi-jurisdictional planning and assessment projects, at scales ranging from counties or parts of counties to the entire State of California. CCED should not be used as the basis for official regulatory, legal or other such governmental actions – these types of uses require official land records from county recorders or easement holding agencies in the area of focus. 2014020320140203Published Feb. 2014Irregular-124.392971-114.06631942.01522732.469271NoneConservation EasementCaliforniaPlanningProtected LandNoneIN NO EVENT WILL GREENINFO NETWORK BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE DIGITAL DATA, EVEN IF GREENINFO NETWORK IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
CCED contains GIS data for conservation easements over public and private property. While this data is from public records, your use of the data should make every effort to respect the privacy concerns and sensitivities of land owners and those agencies and organizations who work with them.
1. Any maps of CCED data should show clearly that easement properties are closed to any public access, unless CCED has specific information to the contrary (very few easements allow public access).
2. Private land owner names are not included in CCED and should not be attached to CCED data shown on maps. When labeling easement properties, use the generic holding name of "conservation easement" (or “restricted lands” or equivalent title) whenever feasible, as some CCED source agencies' titles include partial owner names ("Smith Ranch", etc.).
3. Likewise, showing on maps the individual agencies or organizations who hold easements should be avoided whenever feasible. Instead, consider using the agency level field [eholdtyp] classifying the agency as: federal, state, local, or nonprofit, to indicate the type of easement holder.
4. If specific easement boundaries are not needed for map display, use center point symbols or other forms of abstraction.
5. CCED is provided as is, without any warranty of accuracy. CCED boundaries are as provided by source agencies and have not been enhanced to align with parcels or other GIS data. Where CCED is missing data, please contact us at cced@calands.org to let us know about these gaps.
CCED is suitable for a wide range of planning, assessment, analysis, and display purposes. CCED should not be used as the basis for official regulatory, legal or other such governmental actions – these types of uses require official land records from county recorders or easement holding agencies in the area of focus.CCED is made available without charge for a wide range of uses, for example, use by government agencies in planning and operations, use by private consultants in the development of plans and analyses, use by non-profit organizations and educational institutions for strategy, research, planning, management and other functions. While agencies, organizations, individuals and businesses may distribute free of any charges copies of the data, any such replication must include this disclaimer and require user to review the provisions therein.
