What are Conservation Easements?
Conservation Easements are one of the most effective tools available for the permanent protection of private lands.
A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust or public agency that restricts the use of a particular property in order to protect its conservation values; they are used to achieve a variety of conservation purposes, including open space preservation, agricultural preservation, and natural resource protection.
