Properties Protected in Fiscal Year 2001
The following projects were completed in Fiscal Year 2001 (July 1, 2000 – June 30, 2001). With the help of our partners, 10,955 acres of land were acquired. DEM acquired most of these properties outright, known as a “fee acquisition.” However, a smaller number of these projects protect less than fee interests, such as conservation restrictions (which essentially remove the right to develop a property).
