How can I be assured that a conservation easement I grant to the GRVLT will not be sold or disposed of for profit in the future?
Although conservation easements are considered both a contract and a property interest, the easement agreement does not give the GRVLT the right or ability to sell or dispose of the easement for financial gain. The conservation easement only gives the GRVLT the authority to restrict uses of the land, as specified in the agreement, which would compromise the property’s natural or productive values. Additionally, the GRVLT holds the right to monitor and enforce the terms of the agreement. Easements that the GRVLT holds cannot be transferred to other organizations without the mutual consent of both the GRVLT and the landowner.
