MAPS
Bluegrass Conservancy has developed the following maps in order to guide land protection efforts in the coming years. The Strategic Farmland Map identifies the most "at-risk" parcels of farmland in the region. The Soils Map identifies land with prime soil for farming. Both of these maps provide the framework for the Conservancy to help landowners and their families protect these treasured lands in perpetuity.
