  • Conservation Easements Conserving Land, Water and a Way of Life
    Conservation Easements Conserving Land, Water and a Way of Life Conservation easements are one of the most powerful, effective tools available for the conservation of private lands. Their use has successfully protected millions of acres of wildlife habitat and open space in the United States and in many countries. A conservation easement is a restriction placed on a piece of property to protect its ecological or open- space values. It is a voluntary, legally binding agreement that limits certain types of uses or prevents development from taking place now and in the future. In a conservation easement, a landowner voluntarily agrees to donate or sell certain rights associated with his or her property, such as the right to subdivide, and a private organization or public agency agrees to hold the landowner’s promise not to exercise those rights. conservation easements benefit conservation easements keep the public and the environment land in private hands and ■ Conservation easements conserve watersheds and preserve traditional land uses aquifers, helping ensure a clean supply of water for ■ Private property subject to a conservation easement public use. remains privately owned, and landowners often ■ Conservation easements buffer treasured national continue to live on the property. parks, from Yellowstone to Canyonlands, from develop- ■ The option to place conservation easements on private ment and human activity.

Conservation Easements for Green Urban Spaces Matthew Olhausen* Many California cities are struggling to keep up with the state’s high demand for new housing, and the resulting rush to build has resulted in a decreasing green space per household. As development pressures increase and the cost of land continues to rise, cities should consider new ways to preserve and create urban parks. In addition to traditional land use tools, conservation easements can provide cities with a solution to create urban parks in urban areas that lack green space.1 Conservation easements are incredibly flexible and protect public use of land perpetually, which insulates community parks from changing political winds. To effectuate this, cities may be able to avoid the high cost of land acquisition in up-and- coming neighborhoods by working with private developers, ensuring that residents will have convenient access to city parks, and providing residents with higher quality of life.

  • Conservation Easements for Forest Landowners and Their Advisers
    The Warnell Continuing Education Program Daniel B. Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources Purpose/About the Course The purpose of this course is to provide a working knowledge of conservation easements as a land-use tool and provide a status update on the timber market. It provides guidance on drafting conservation easement agreements to achieve landowner goals for their property. The Georgia Alabama Land trust discusses various philosophies of land use protection and what conservation easements can offer landowners. This course offers a comprehensive overview of legal, appraisal, base line information, tax incentives, and other inputs needed for a successful conservation easement agreement. This online course has been redesigned to be as flexible as possible. The major change is that five sessions will be pre-recorded and available for viewing prior to the start of the course on December 3-4. To show that registrants have watched videos, there will be a short quiz of three questions for each prerecorded session. These five sessions will not be shown during the course itself. However, instructors of these pre-recorded sessions will be available for questions during the live Zoom portion of the course. Live interaction with the instructors is part of the course learning design. Attendance of the live course will be tracked. Objectives and Benefits The objective is to provide guidance for attendees in reaching a sustainable protection agreement for "working forest" land. A framework is offered for analyzing protection goals for reaching a successful agreement in the context of legal constraints and tax incentives. You will learn: How easements affect land use The advantages/disadvantages of easements on a working forest Which agencies and organizations can accept easements Tax aspects of easements How to plan for an easement Who Will Benefit? Landowners with an interest in maintaining a working forest while protecting it from development or other exploitation should attend.

  • Conservation Easements in the U.S. and Abroad: Reflections and Views Toward the Future
    Conservation Easements in the U.S. and Abroad: Reflections and Views toward the Future Harvey M. Jacobs © 2014 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Working Paper The findings and conclusions of this Working Paper reflect the views of the author(s) and have not been subject to a detailed review by the staff of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Contact the Lincoln Institute with questions or requests for permission to reprint this paper. [email protected] Lincoln Institute Product Code: WP14HJ1 Abstract Public policy for privately owned land in the United States was traditionally undertaken in one of three ways: through regulation, via manipulation of the property tax, or through targeted use of public capital investments. Thirty years ago a fourth approach began to gain prominence— private, non-profit land trusts and their use of the conservation easements. In summer 2012 the Lincoln Institute sponsored a panel at an international conference on agriculture and forestry to expose U.S. practice with land trusts and conservation easements, and to ask questions about the transferability of the U.S. experience to other countries. This working paper provides an integrated summary of the presentations made at that conference and the papers subsequently prepared by the panel presenters. Cutting edge practice is profiled in the Pacific Northwest and by a TIMO (private timberland investment organization). The use of conservation easements by land trusts will continue its growth in the U.S., there is both caution and hope for the transferability of the U.S. experience. About the Author Harvey M.

Fordham Environmental Law Review is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/elr CONSERVATION EASEMENT VIOLATED: WHAT NEXT? A DISCUSSION OF REMEDIES Ann HarrisSmith * I. INTRODUCTION Nonprofit organizations and government agencies with conservation missions often must compete with private developers for lands that have natural value.1 These organizations operate on tight budgets,2 and they are wise to find ways to leverage their dollars to achieve maximum conservation results. At the same time, many natural area owners have an emotional connection with their land and want to ensure its protection through the years, 3 but they may be tempted by offers from developers. They could be facing financial difficulties, ready for retirement, or concerned about creating estate tax problems for their heirs. Conservation easements have become very popular because they meet the needs of conservation organizations and landowners. Easements appeal to conservation organizations because many landowners are willing to donate them, allowing the organizations to * J.D.

  • FCWG Policy Platform · 117Th Congress in America’S Forests”
    “ Policymakers can help grow the powerful climate solutions that are FCWG Policy Platform · 117th Congress in America’s forests” America’s forests and forest products are a proven carbon sequestration and storage “technology” to provide the negative emissions we need to slow climate change. Today, U.S. forests and forest products annually sequester and store almost 15% of U.S. carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. New research suggests we could nearly double this natural carbon capture with the right actions. Best of all, this climate action through forests will build on the nearly 3 million jobs in America’s forest sector and bring broad co-benefits to our communities, from clean air and water to wildlife and outdoor recreation. The Forest-Climate Working Group (FCWG) was founded in 2007 to provide a unified voice across the U.S. forest sector that can help America capture this remarkable opportunity. Our member organizations reflect the wide diversity of actors who help to conserve and manage America’s forests every single day: private landowners, forest products companies, state foresters and other government agencies, forestry, conservation and wildlife non-profits, carbon finance, and academic researchers. TODAY 15% of U.S. carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels are stored annually from forests and forest products New research suggests we could nearly double this natural carbon capture with the right actions. ForestClimateWorkingGroup.org This platform outlines how policymakers can help private forest owners and public land managers grow the powerful climate solutions in America’s forests and forest products while delivering other environmental and economic benefits.

The property is located along the Milk River and consists primarily of Milk River riparian habitats and associated uplands. The primary purpose of this proposal is to conserve and enhance native areas that provide important habitat for game and nongame species and to provide additional recreational opportunities for the general public. This habitat provides critical winter range for big game species and the Milk River serves as a migratory corridor for many species. Protecting and enhancing the existing habitat is expected to increase use by game animals, including mule deer, elk, white-tailed deer, antelope, pheasants, sharp- tailed grouse, and waterfowl along with a variety of native nongame species of birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals.

  • Drafting CONSERVATION Easements
    Drafting CONSERVATION Easements By Jessica E. Jay, Esq. Conservation Law, P.C. 52 Meadowlark Drive Evergreen, CO 80439 Phone: 303-674-3709 Fax: 303-674-3715 Email: [email protected] Website: www.conservationlaw.org I. Drafting Conservation Easements Drafting the conservation easement influences everything about the protected property after the easement’s grant: it guides the landowner’s use of the protected property, it guides Land Trust’s monitoring and stewardship of the property, and it guides Land Trust’s enforcement of the conservation easement against the original landowner and all future landowners, forever. Land Trust’s policies will complement drafting, stewardship, and enforcement of the conservation easements it holds, but details and requirements specific to that property achieved through the easement’s drafting are contained in the final, recorded deed of conservation easement. The challenge of drafting conservation easements lies in creating documents that endure and are enforceable for perpetuity, and this requires creating both flexibility and fortitude in the document. Two Principles/Questions should guide ALL conservation easement drafting: (1) What are the Conservation Purposes/Values of THIS conservation easement? and (2) How are the Conservation Purposes/Values connected to/impacted by permitted and prohibited uses and all other provisions of the conservation easement? A. What Are the Conservation Purposes/Values of THIS Conservation Easement: Determining/ Defining Conservation Purposes/Values of a Specific Conservation Easement Law: guides and provides our framework for determining/defining conservation values and purposes Baseline Inventory: can show all of a property’s qualities and characteristics, some of which may be defined and identified as conservation values/purposes in the conservation easement; landowners may seek less breadth than the baseline inventory, or more clarity as to specific conservation values, which can and should be accomplished through the easement’s drafting(see below).
