What is a Conservation Easement?

Discover the pivotal role of conservation easements in supporting organizations like the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) in completing critical conservation work. Conservation easements are essential and efficient tools that conserve vital land, safeguard biodiversity, and facilitate conservation efforts while upholding landowners' rights. Many conservation agreements serve to protect working landscapes, where biodiversity is maintained in collaboration with sustainable agriculture or ranching. These working landscapes allow landowners to continue practicing their economic activities and to help maintain the biological values on their property.
