----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am a grad student working on a Master's in the mapping sciences at the State University of New York Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse. I am using GIS to target land for easement or aquisition protection. I have not found much on this GIS application. Can anybody direct me to some good articles on this subject. Specifically I'm looking at the Skaneateles Lake watershed, the main source of Syracuse's drinking water. Thanks! -Bruce Willett SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry, Syracuse [log in to unmask]
