What Is an Easement?
A conservation easement is a voluntary, legal agreement between a landowner and a qualified land trust—like Lower Shore Land Trust—that permanently limits certain uses of the land to protect its conservation values. These agreements are tailored to each property, allowing landowners to continue owning, using, and even selling or passing down their land, while ensuring that its natural, agricultural, or scenic features are preserved for future generations.
How Can LSLT Help You?
At Lower Shore Land Trust, we work closely with landowners to explore conservation options that align with their goals. Whether you want to protect working farmland, protect valuable wildlife habitat, or safeguard forests and wetlands, we guide you through the process of establishing a conservation easement. Our team also helps navigate available programs and funding opportunities, including state and federal initiatives, to support your conservation efforts. Protecting your land doesn’t mean giving it up—it means ensuring its legacy endures. Let us help you create a lasting impact for your property and the environment.
