Land Cover Systems Update
The Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS) is a publicly available dataset used to support conservation activities, land use planning and analysis. EOR’s GIS team and natural resources specialists reviewed aerial imagery and relevant vegetation and surface datasets to digitize and update 71 square miles of recently developed areas in Carver County. The team followed DNR’s guide to record standardized land cover.
