Conservation Easement Information
A conservation easement is a
voluntary, legally binding agreement between a landowner and a land trust or
government agency that permanently
limits specific development rights on a
property to protect its natural, agricultural, or scenic value.
The land remains in private ownership,
but the restrictions "run with the land"
for future owners. These easements provide tax benefits and prevent
subdivision
or industrial development.
