Does a conservation easement give the public a right to enter and cross private property?
No, not unless the owner expressly grants that right in the easement document. Most conservation easements do not require public access. The landowner still controls access by neighbors or other people. A conservation easement does give the grantee the right to enter the property at reasonable times to make sure the provisions of the easement are being complied with.
