LATT Conservation Analysis

These following factors were considered when determining the conservation value of each land parcel within the Little Alamance & Travis/Tickle Creek Watersheds. All of these traits were equally weighted except those marked with *. Haw River parcels do not exist within the Little Alamance Creek watershed, putting its lands at a disadvantage in evaluation. To balance this out, we analyzed each watershed separately and then put the results together. The Conservation Analysis map is the top 5% of land evaluated by this analysis.
