About the Land Cover Change Project

The land cover change portion of Connecticut’s Changing Landscape provides basic information about the growth of developed land during the period 1985 to 2002. Four directly comparable land cover datasets, from 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2002, allow us for the first time to look at, and quantify, landscape change in our state.

This data also provides the informational foundation for the urban growth, forest fragmentation and impervious surfaces portions of the overall project.
