Conservation Easements
Conservation Easements are legal agreements between a landowner and a land trust or government agency that permanently restrict the development and use of a property in order to protect its natural, scenic, or agricultural features. These agreements typically limit activities such as construction, mining, logging, or subdivision, while allowing for activities like farming, recreation, and wildlife habitat restoration to continue. Conservation easements are designed to promote the long-term conservation of land and natural resources for future generations.
