- is threatened by development
- has landowners willing to conserve their properties
- has particular features that are important to Wild & Scenic/Outstanding Resource Values (wildlife habitat, recreational access, historic/cultural, ridgelines, scenic landscapes)
- has high quality native species communities (plant or wildlife)
- is currently unprotected open space
- connects to larger parcels of protected land
- will increase vegetated buffer between development and the river
- has water features – tributary to Farmington River, ponds, wetlands
