A conservation easement places a legally enforceable, permanent restriction on development and other uses of property. Conservation easements are negotiated between the landowner and the Land Trust based on the natural characteristics of the property and the wishes of the landowner. By accepting a conservation easement, the Land Trust incurs perpetual liability in relation to monitoring the property to ensure compliance with the easement and legal costs of enforcement. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Land Trust has received 124 and 119 conservation easements consisting of 10,209 and 9,717 acres, respectively.
