Few Louisiana towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Ama’s under 1% is ahead of 18% of Louisiana towns, while its trails per square mile lead 51% of them.
Water is 21% of Ama’s area (1 of 4 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read under 1%.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Ama. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C− to C. Trails and many small parks come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers, so coverage varies from town to town; the half mile is a straight line from each census block, so a river or highway in the way isn’t counted against it.

Who protects it
3 conserved acres
under 1% of Ama’s land. Water is left out: Ama has 3.5 square miles of land and 0.9 of water, so the share counts land only. Who manages Ama’s conserved land, from the USGS Protected Areas Database. Approximate, because parcels can overlap.
