The benefits of conservation easements
Many of us take pride in where we live or own land, and often worry about changes from potential development.
Fortunately, conservation easements enable landowners and heirs to preserve land and water resources for a public or agricultural benefit even while retaining ownership of the property. They not only preserve habitat, farmlands, scenery and recreation, but they can also provide tax benefits to the landowner and the estate following death.
