Welcome to CCL's Land Cover Change Website

The land cover change portion of Connecticut’s Changing Landscape provides basic information about changes to developed, forest and agricultural lands during the period 1985 to 2006. Five directly comparable land cover datasets, from 1985, 1990, 1995, 2002 and 2006, allow us to look at, and quantify, landscape change in our state.

Version 2 is here and includes:

• a new date: 2006
• a new class in all dates: Agricultural Field
• improvements to all classes in all dates! This means that previously released land cover (we call it version 1) cannot be compared to this land cover (version 2)

For further explanation, visit the FAQ "How is Version 2 land cover different from Version 1?"
