Does a conservation easement always prohibit all development or subdivision?
No. An easement might apply only to certain portions of a property, preserving open or wooded areas, for example, while permitting development of the remainder. Alternatively, ownership of the portion protected by the conservation easement might be divided for purposes of limited or cluster development if deemed appropriate by the granting landowner and the land trust.
