Are there costs associated with the donation of a conservation easement?
Since conservation easements are legal documents, they require the professional services of lawyers, accountants, and appraisers to properly prepare them. Some of these costs are assumed by the land trust and some by the landowner. In addition, we ask conservation easement donors to assist in the costs of perpetual monitoring, stewardship assistance, and enforcement of the easement by contributing to our Stewardship Fund at or before the closing date.
