Model Conservation Easement

The Eagle Valley Land Trust has created a model conservation easement to assist potential donors. This model easement is reviewed annually to ensure it is up-to-date with current regulations.

This model conservation easement is the 'kitchen sink' -- designed to help potential donors consider all possibilities. Conservation easements are specifically tailored to meet the conservation and financial/tax planning needs of each landowner; few conservation easements look alike because few properties are the same, and few landowners want exactly the same provisions. The final conservation easement is the result of drafting and redrafting the document until all parties are satisfied.
