[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1815878, member: 43196"] Conservation easements are designed/meant to keep land uses (what I think of as agricultural) what they currently are in perpetuity. There are several different easement programs, but they all pretty much have the same goal in mind. Protect the land from development that is not agricultural (or environmentally friendly, but the use of the word environmental any more has some 'newer' interpretations/definitions that I don't care for). CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) and GRP (Grassland Reserve Program) as mentioned above aren't really Easement programs, although they are designed to protect the land. CRP and GRP are cancelled/easily cancelled when/if the user/owner loses control. an Easement attaches useage constraints to a piece of land that CANNOT be removed when the control of the land changes. I know a little bit more about easements than other NRCS employees in my part of the state, but we don't have any easements in my part of the state to speak of. I've worked the mapping portion end of the Easement program where I am for the entire state which is why I have some knowledge. Please post your specific questions here, or message me directly if you prefer. I would encourage you to contact your STATE NRCS (not local, but they can get you the contact info) and talk directly to their Easement Specialist (yes, they have one of those, I've worked extensively with ours in Ohio).
