Southeast Colorado Conservation Easement Database

CNHP partnered with Great Outdoors Colorado and numereous land trusts on a comprehensive report on all conservation easements held in a five county area in southeast Colorado including Bent, Crowley, Otero, Prowers, and Pueblo counties. The purpose of this project was to collect and disclose comprehensive information on conservation easements in the study area.

This project centralizes information on these southeast Colorado conservation easements, including pulling together into one database, all deeds of conservation easement, amendments, corrections, and reassignments. For each easement, key characteristics are described, including the size of the property encumbered, the date of recording, the names of the grantor and the grantee, the certification status of the grantee, the stated conservation purpose(s), and the land use restrictions.

CNHP’s Conservation Data Services team delivered a custom database solution that centralized all of this information into an online database to support report production and provide comprehensive data for this study.

We worked closely with the programs to:

  • Design a complex relational database to meet report requirements.
  • Develop a web interface to deliver the content securely, intuitively, and quickly.
  • Support attachment uploads to centralize all deeds of trust in one location.
