Webinar Description

Conservation easements are the means by which much conservation is accomplished in this country. This webinar will provide an overview of the basic elements of an easement and provide tips on successful drafting to meet Land Trust Standards and Practices and state and federal laws, including those related to public benefit and the “conservation purposes” test (for easements intended to qualify for federal tax benefits). You will also learn how to determine what easement restrictions are within the capacity or your land trust to monitor and enforce forever. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to submit a portion of their template conservation easement for feedback.

This webinar is based on the Standards and Practices Curriculum course “Conservation Easement Drafting and Documentation.”
