Oregon Access Easement (OAE) is a type of legal agreement between a landowner and a third party, such as a government agency, utility company, or nonprofit organization. The agreement grants the third party the right to access the land for specific purposes, such as construction or maintenance of infrastructure. It is an important tool for ensuring public access to important resources, such as roads, utilities, public lands, and trails. The OAE also ensures that landowners are compensated for their loss of control over their land. There are three types of Oregon Access Easements: public access easements, utility access easements, and conservation easements. Public access easements grant public access to public lands, such as roads, trails, or waterways. Utility access easements grant access for the installation and maintenance of utility infrastructure, such as power lines or pipelines. Conservation easements grant access for the purpose of preserving natural resources or protecting endangered species. All types of Ones are designed to balance the needs of landowners with the needs of the public.
