What activities are allowed on land protected by an easement?
The activities allowed depend on the landowner’s wishes and the terms of the easement. In some cases, no further development is allowed on the land. In others, some additional development is allowed, but the amount and type is restricted. Conservation easements may be designed to cover all or only a portion of a property and specific restrictions can vary for different parts of the property. Every easement is unique, tailored to each landowner’s goals and land characteristics.
