Through a mapping grant from the William Penn Foundation, Natural Lands has worked with all counties within the Delaware River Watershed Initiative project area to obtain parcel data – or access to parcel data – for all DRWI partner organizations. Each county approaches access to parcel data differently. Below is a list of all counties, organized by state, and the process the partner organizations need to follow in order to get county parcel data.
