What can a conservation easement mean to a landowner?
By placing a conservation easement on a particular parcel of land, a property owner can be assured that the land will forever remain in a natural state unaltered by humans. Paradoxically, a landowner is rewarded personally and philosophically by the knowledge that protective covenants are in place to promote his or her specific conservation ethic while receiving immediate financial benefits through the tax advantages that accrue.
