The Stewardship Lands Imagery (SLI) program provides NRCS with remote sensing resources for the management of conservation easement lands through compliance and ecological monitoring. The NRCS has over 22,800 conservation easements covering over 5 million acres. The NRCS is required by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board in the Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards 29 (SFFAS 29) to annually monitor the condition of NRCS stewardship lands. Condition, relates to reporting landowner compliance with deed terms related to ownership of stewardship lands by the Federal Government. To facilitate the reporting requirement, the NRCS acquires digital high-resolution, 15 cm GSD, 4-band, ortho-rectified fixed wing aerial imagery to ensure compliance of NRCS easements enrolled in the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program-Wetlands Reserve Easements (ACEP-WRE), the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program-Agricultural Lands Easements (ACEP-ALE), the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP), Healthy Forests Reserve program (HFRP), Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP), the emergency Watershed Program-Floodplain Easements (EWPP-FPE) and the Emergency Wetlands Reserve Program (EWRP) as well as Other Stewardship Lands (OSL). NRCS uses digital high-resolution imagery to strengthen the integrity of monitoring on conservation easement lands using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies and photo interpretation. <\/span><\/p> Purpose: <\/span>To provide easements imagery acquisition collection information and locations.<\/span> <\/span><\/p> Creation Date: <\/span>20220115-20221219<\/span><\/p> Publication Date: <\/span>20230427<\/span><\/p> Revision Date: <\/span> <\/span><\/p> Refresh Cycle: <\/span>2022 Imagery Complete<\/span><\/p> Version: <\/span>1.0.0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>
