P4C offers in-depth information on conservation easements.

 

The Land Trust Alliance offers in-depth information on conservation easements and steps landowners and communities can take to protect publicly important places. We also provide fee services that assist in the successful implementation of federal, state and local regulations. The Land Trust provides these services through:

1. Presenting landowners with a variety of options for preserving their lands while retaining private ownership and control.

2. Holding conservation easements for mitigation projects and accepting stewardship contracts.

3. Providing a variety of professional and consulting services to developers and local municipalities and governments including open space planning, acquisition and management of open space properties, drafting, holding and monitoring of conservation easements, and management and monitoring of mitigation properties.

4. Providing professional stewardship and monitoring services for sensitive natural areas. Whether it is land held by others, or on land we hold in conservation easement, we can identify the critical ecological processes and components on a given site and implement adaptive management practices to meet protection goals.
