Hey Randy- You might be interested in the new book "Documenting and Protecting Biodiversity on Land Trust Projects: an introduction and practical guide". In it, I review how land trusts use spatial data products (in addition to on-the-ground biological inventories) to prioritize, inform, and bolster land protection projects. It covers things like TNC Ecoregional Assessments, SWAP habitat mapping, PAD-US Database, LANDFIRE/ GAP landcover/ Ecological Systems mapping, NWI data, regional connectivity-based landscape planning efforts, etc.
