Nature Conservancy and easements

As you might expect the Nature Conservancy has quite a lot of interesting information about Conservation easements on their webpage.

Read their primer, see some examples or view the fast facts:

The Conservancy received its first conservation easement in 1961, on six acres at Gallup Salt Marsh in Connecticut. The conservation easement was a gift, valued at $300 at the time. The Conservancy still holds the conservation easement.
