  • 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.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Hastings Environmental Law Journal by an authorized editor of UC Hastings Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 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.

  • FORESTRY SECTOR POLICY GOAL, OBJECTIVES and STRATEGIES
    National Forest Policy, Timor-Leste, December 2005 SUPPORT for the FORMULATION of a NATIONAL FOREST POLICY STATEMENT – TIMOR LESTE FORESTRY SECTOR POLICY GOAL, OBJECTIVES and STRATEGIES Introduction The National Development Plan (2002) assigns the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (MAFF) as the Government agency having prime responsibility for forestry development. New law defined the Ministry’s mandate and structure in 2002. The National Directorate of Coffee and Forestry (NDCF) is one of three national directorates within the ministry and has broad responsibilities for community forestry, watershed management, forest protection, plantation forestry, protected natural areas development and other aspects of forestry development. The National Development Plan emphasises a sustainable approach to the development and management of the forest resources of the country. It recognizes that forests are important for their biological diversity and that forest conservation is a priority task in forest development planning. National development strategies recognise the limited ability of NDCF to support field programmes and it asserts that they will mainly focus on improving that capability and assist in providing the basic steps that will enable the NDCF to work towards achieving the national objective of sustainable forest management. The strategies also attempt to make a contribution to other relevant Government short-term objectives, such as rural poverty alleviation. The NDCF will make a major contribution towards combating deforestation and forest degradation by initiating, in close cooperation with other sections of MAFF, a series of integrated programmes that will closely involve rural communities. Emphasis will be placed on reducing the adverse effects of shifting cultivation and other pressures on forests and encouraging the participation of communities to protect forests and watersheds.

  • Forest Management Planning
    Forest Management Planning Basic knowledge Welcome to the Forest Management Planning Module. This module is intended for forest owners and managers wishing to plan SFM activities and to enable monitoring and control. The module provides information and links to tools and case studies, to guide users in planning the implementation of SFM at the forest management unit level. Forest management is the process of planning and implementing practices for the stewardship and use of forests and other wooded land targeted at specific environmental, economic, social and cultural objectives. Forest management planning is a fundamental component of SFM, and it may be required at various scales, from local to national; this module focuses on the local (or forest management unit) scale. The role of forest management planning is to determine and express the objectives of forest management in a specified area of forest and to set out the steps to be taken to achieve those objectives. Forest management planning is important for many reasons. For example, it can: help forest owners and managers identify what they want from the forest and provide an efficient course of action to meet those objectives; provide a means by which stakeholders can participate in forest management and ensure clarity on the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders; ensure the existence and functionality of the resource while also increasing its value (e.g. specifying where, how and under what conditions and constraints the resource may be used); save time and reduce costs (e.g. in road construction and wood harvesting); reduce risks and their impacts and avoid potentially costly forest management mistakes (e.g.

  • 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.

  • Find out What Stern's Firm Is Going to Do . . . Whatever It Takes
    STEVE CLARK to keep it blank. “Find out what Stern’s firm is going to do . whatever it takes,” Pete had said. Unfortunately he hadn’t added, “Within reason.” Even Pete would have to admit that three hours with Tony Caswell pushed the boundary of reasonable. She tried again. “Does Stern want to hire joint experts with us? Maybe a cardiologist? Or a heart surgeon?” She set her coffee cup on the mantle. He patted the empty space on the couch. “Sit. And we’ll talk.” Kristen stared at Tony, as if seeing him for the first time. He wasn’t bad looking, though he was too short for her. His hair was already receding, but his thick beard, shaved moderately close, was an attempt to look like a GQ model. “I’ve sat all night.” He plunked his mug on the coffee table and, surprisingly limber, he rocketed up and sauntered to the fireplace. The way his shoulders ... rolled reminded Kristen of a bad Cary Grant impersonation. He moved to within inches of her. Even in flats she was looking at the top of his head. His right hand crept around her, as if he thought she wouldn’t notice. The left remained in his pocket. Ambition and pride had carried her here. She wanted on Layne badly enough to follow orders. Victory would cement her career. She might someday be the female Joe Jamail or Racehorse Haynes—the greatest lawyers in Texas history. A blown knee had ended her first dream of becoming an All-American small forward, but you didn’t need knees to be a great lawyer.

  • 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.
