The Southeast Watershed Forum introduces the "Community Resource Mapper"


Maps - especially those created and printed from resources online - just keep popping up and we've found another. A Cooperative Project between the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Southeast Watershed Forum, NBII, Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership, and the Land Trust Alliance, the Community Resource Mapper allows community activists and planners to :



  • Compare land cover data and protected lands to create tools for comprehensive planning

  • Combine state wildlife action plans with protected lands to identify critical areas for protection

  • Illustrate the connection between land protection and water quality

  • Create your own maps on a county, watershed, or state level!

  • Best of all ---- FREE!
