Most land trusts should be tracking their parcels with a Geographic Information System (GIS), such as ArcView. They have full database capabilities as well as all the specialized stuff to track locations and show maps. The latest version of ArcView uses MS VBA as its scripting language so it should be possible to write an application (they call them extensions) that does whatever tracking you need to do. I don't know if this has already been done.
