What is a
Conservation Easement

Perpetual Land Protection

A conservation easement is a legal and perpetual protection that landowners place on their property with a qualified land trust, like Ever Green Team, to limit future development such as subdivisions. A conservation easement financially benefits landowners through state tax credits and federal tax deductions. Most importantly, easements help preserve family farms, wildlife habitat, streams, open space, woodlands, and scenic views for future generations. Each easement is unique and reflects the good stewardship of each landowner, but all easements have in common that they protect the land you love. What a great tool to protect your land, create financial benefits, and save our rural heritage!
