Help Keep the State Conserved Lands Layer Current
Don’t forget! The cut-off for submissions for the 2026 Conserved Land Layer update is February 14th. In other words, if you’d like to see your newly conserved lands in the state’s layer this year, please submit them by then. After that, the forms will of course remain open, but submissions entered after that date will find their way into the official layer in early 2027.
Maine IF&W is maintaining two submission portals:
1. Individual parcel tool – a simplified process designed for easy submission without need for GIS
2. Shapefile/geodatabase upload – a web form ideal for uploading multiple features at a time (add your data as a zip file)
Please avoid submitting your entire holdings and instead only new parcels or those with updated info! And as always, feel free to email Amy Dowley (the conserved lands editor) or Soren Denlinger with any submission issues or follow-up questions.
