Explanation
A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a qualified organization (land trust or government) that restricts development and certain uses in perpetuity to protect conservation values. The landowner retains title but gives up specific rights (to develop, subdivide, etc.). The easement runs with the land, binding future owners. Landowners often receive tax benefits.
