Conservation Easement

What is a Conservation Easement?

A Conservation Easement, referred to here as a “CE”, is a voluntary restriction placed upon

private property by the Landowner, providing for the permanent preservation of the land by

restricting real estate development, commercial and industrial uses, and certain other activities.

Following the granting of a CE, the owner retains title to the land along with the rights to the

remaining land uses, and no public access to the land is required.
