Landowners use permanent conservation easements to protect their
property from development forever, regardless of who owns it.
Easements protect property (while allowing it
to remain in private hands) and keep the property open
for specified farming, forestry, and recreational uses.
The Land Trust of Virginia -- and other conservation organizations
in Virginia and across the country – promote easements as
an excellent way to preserve our rapidly vanishing
countryside, wetlands, farms, and forests.
If you are trying to find an economically viable way
to protect your land from development, you should consider

A true conservationist is a man
who knows that the world is not
given by his fathers but
borrowed from his children.
