Are there circumstances where CCALT would not accept a donated easement?
Yes. CCALT may decline to accept a conservation easement for many reasons. Reasons include, but are not limited to: the land is not an agricultural property; the Trust deems that the reserved rights or proposed development on the land will interfere with the preservation of the conservation values; it believes that the easement does not provide significant public benefit; if there are not documentable conservation values to meet IRS requirements, or if conservation is required for approval of a development. Please contact us for more information.
