Does the easement have to cover all of the landowners property?
No, some easements only cover a portion of the landowner’s property. Again, it depends on the landowner’s wishes. For example, if someone owns 100 acres, of which 35 acres are wetlands, the landowner may decide to restrict development only on these 35 acres. The remaining 65 acres would not be covered or affected by the easement.
