DCR’s Division of Water Supply Protection’s Land Protection activities focus on acquiring sensitive watershed lands in order to maintain, or restore, a stable forest cover on these lands. Goals for this program include: acquiring priority properties in the active water supply watersheds with cooperative landowners in either fee or as a Watershed Preservation Restriction; maintaining oversight of existing properties with Watershed Preservation Restrictions; and administering the Payments in Lieu of Taxes Program.
