Conservation Easements

This voluntary legal agreement between the landowner and a land trust is the most widely used and one of the most flexible conservation tools. A conservation easement allows the landowner to use, own, and pass down the land while permanently limiting how it can be used. As the holder of the easement, it is Connemara's duty to monitor the property in perpetuity, thus insuring that the terms of the easement are followed and that the land's conservation values are forever protected.
