What is the Purpose of Conservation Easements?

Conservation Easements are placed on land to protect ecological function and biodiversity of the landscape. They can be utilized to protect areas such as grasslands, wetlands and other ecosystems for either a term length or permanently. By signing a CE, you ensure the landscape is protected for years to come despite landowner changes. This is crucial if you ever decided to sell the land because you need the next landowner to understand all the implications and restrictions of the easement placed on the land.
