What is a conservation easement?
A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust or government agency that permanently limits uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. Landowners retain many of their rights, including the right to own and use the land, sell it and pass it on to their heirs.
* As of the end of 2020, the Conservancy owns 40 properties totaling 38 acres and holds conservation easements on 12 properties totaling 2,235.
