Hi Everybody, Frederik I have been doing the background layer/tracing over technique.
So, Frederik's, says no to all of these parcels types. Not much gray area in Frederik criteria. - True conservation land, land that is owned by a private non-profit or owned by the town that is supposed to be never developed, the public is allowed to use it for light recreation activities, and that's it. - Town land that is open to the public, but is not developed. Watersheds, parks, undeveloped tracks etc. - Playgrounds - Public Schools - Private land that is open to the public as long as people stay on the marked trails. - Private land that has development restrictions, but is not open to the public. - In between, places like the "New England Forestry Foundation", that harvest tree's, so the land is in fact a "forest", but encourages the public use the land and who's mission is conservation. Without having a "parcel" layer, in the openstreetmap.org, the map would be less useful to people who are trying to figure out where to take a hike. Thanks Jason.
