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.
