What are grasslands and prairie easements?
Prairie and grassland easements were designed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as mentary programs to help protect native prairie and grassland resources. Through prairie and grassland easements, the Service purchase certain property rights. As a result, grazing, haying, mowing and grass-seed harvest are restricted. Some of these agricultural practices, depending upon the condition of the land and the desire of landowners, are included in certain easements.
