Wetlands shown here are those identified by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service for the National Wetlands Inventory. Many different ecological
types of wetlands were described for the area but the depth of detail
exceeds the scale of this map. Furthermore, hydric soils as identified
by the USDA Soil Conservation Service are not included here. More
information is provided in the Wetlands & Water Resources Section
of this report.

A one-point border was applied to buildings to make them more visible.
Without the border many were too small to be seen. No distinction is
made between houses, barns, or other buildings.

Notes:
A one-mile buffer around the town of Lyndeborough is provided
to show natural and cultural features of immedeate importance
to planning, conservation, and other activities in Lyndeborough.
Throughout this report, analyses of wetlands, streams,
conservation areas, and other natural elements do not quantify
those features within the buffer, unless specified otherwise.

NATURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY - HIGHEST QUALITY HABITAT CO-OCCURRENCE
Co-occurrence analysis is the process of identifying areas where several different qualities are present. It is a method for visualizing
areas that have a 'higher' relative value than others based on assigned occurrences of valuable features. In this analysis, areas
that provide the highest quality wildlife habitat are those with the most co-occuring values; areas of the darkest shade of brown.
The lightest shades of tan are areas that provide the least high quality habitat. The following attributes were selected for this
analysis: Proximity to Streams, Proximity to Wetlands, Unfragmented Forest Blocks, High Elevation Areas, Steep Slopes, and
Selected Land Cover Types. The table below explains why each was chosen, and the value it was assigned for analysis. Limitations
in the data did not allow for inclusion of the full 1 mile buffer so a buffer of 1000' is shown. All distances are in feet. This analysis
considers data that is available for the entire town, and does not take into account locations of rare species, vernal pools, and other
rare natural communities. These data were not included because they only represent known locations; their use would skew the results.

Floodplains, beaver activity, and high moisture and humidity
support floristic diversity. Continuous systems provide
movement corridors. Coldwater fish require shaded streams.
The most floristically rich and biologically diverse
ecosystems in Lyndeborough. Moisture gradients support
diverse complexes of natural communities. High structural
diversity & spatial heterogeneity.

The steepest slopes in Lyndeborough support areas of old
forest with complex habitat structure, exposed ledges and
talus fields, springs and seeps, and unique very dry habitats.
Abandoned berry fields have grown into dry shrublands, one
of the most endangered habitat types in NH. Important for
migrating raptors; patches of spruce forest; open ledges
provide potential bobcat sunning areas.
Grasslands provide habitat for more than 150 species
Flowers and fruits valued by insects, birds & mammals
Flowers and fruits valued by insects, birds & mammals
Broad mixture of many forest types provides matrix habitat
Important for generalist species
Early spring flowers support insects & birds; shrubs common
Winter cover for deer
Highest hard-mast production of our local forests
Very important young forest type with high seed production
Highly valued by uncommon birds & mammals
Provides habitat for large mammals, carnivores, secretive
species, and species with low reproductive rates or high
sensitivity to human activity.

Note on Tree Farms: Private lands enrolled in the American Tree
Farm System (ATFS) are not necesarily considered 'protected' or
'conserved' but they may provide a higher level of protection for
habitat, water quality, recreation, and other natural resource values
than other land. While enrolled in the ATFS, Tree Farms are
managed to provide Wood, Water, Wildlife, and Passive Recreation,
but they can be withdrawn at any time for any reason. Tree Farms
shown here are those not protected by higher legal mechanism
such as a Conservation Easement or Fee Ownership.
Other conservation lands in Lyndeborough are also
Tree Farms, such as some Forest Society and New England
Forestry Foundation Fee Ownership lands.

NATURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY - CONSERVATION PRIORITIES CO-OCCURRENCE
Co-occurrence analysis is the process of identifying areas where several different qualities are present. It is a method for visualizing
areas that have a 'higher' relative value than others based on assigned occurrences of valuable features. In this analysis, areas
of a higher priority for enhanced land conservation are those with the most co-occuring values; areas of the darkest shade of brown.
The lightest shades of tan are areas that are of low priority for land conservation. The following attributes were selected for this
analysis: Proximity to Conserved Land, Proximity to Streams, Proximity to Wetlands, Proximity to Class VI Roads, Proximity to Trails,
Unfragmented Forest Blocks, High Elevation Areas, and Selected Land Cover Types. The table below explains why each was chosen,
and the value it was assigned for analysis. Land currently protected was excluded from this analysis. Limitations in the data did not
allow for inclusion of the full 1 mile buffer so a buffer of 1000' is shown. All distances are in feet. The results of this analysis can only
suggest priorities based on the available data, and cannot take into consideration intrinsic values of some pieces of land, emotional &
cultural connections, and other values that can not be quantified.

NATURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY
IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL LANDS CO-OCCURRENCE
Co-occurrence analysis is the process of identifying areas where several different qualities are present.
It is a method for visualizing areas that have a 'higher' relative value than others based on assigned
occurrences of valuable features. In this analysis, areas with high agricultural value are those with the
most co-occurring values; areas of the darkest shade of brown. The lightest shades of tan are areas that
have little value for agricultural production, either current or future. The following attributes were selected
for this analysis: NRCS Soil Types that are determined to be productive for farming, areas with appropriate
aspect to receive high amounts of direct sunlight, areas with low slopes where farming is possible,
and currently farmed areas including orchards, pastures, and row crops. The table below provides
details on the qualities chosen for analysis and the range of values given to them. A substantial
portion of ranked area (nearly 275 acres in Lyndeborough) is classified by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service as wetland. Because those areas are not suitable for most forms of farming they are
overlaid by green. Ponds and streams are similarly shown to exclude them from consideration
as valuable agricultural land.
