What rights does a landowner give up and what rights does he/she retain with a CR?
Generally the Conservation Restriction prohibits things such as residential subdivisions and commercial activities. An example would be a restriction that would allow forestry or farming to continue but would prohibit residential subdivisions or clear cutting. Any specific limitations placed on the land by the owner are described in the CR document and must be approved by the Board of Selectmen and the State Secretary of Environmental Affairs.
