Conservation Easement

Easements conferred by conservation are transferred by deed, serve a conservation objective, are in perpetuity (a legal phrase meaning forever), call for ongoing care and monitoring, can be terminated by a court of law only, remain in effect permanently, and may be eligible for tax advantages. Eliminating the restrictions of a conservation easement might be challenging. Both you, the landowner, and the Rensselaer Land Trust work together in partnership to create conservation easements that are uniquely tailored to the goals you have for your property. The stipulations of the conservation easement are intended to run with the land, which means that all proprietors, both present and future, are required to abide by them. When Rensselaer Land Trust accepts a conservation easement, the organization makes a commitment to uphold and defend the provisions of the easement for the rest of time.
