Description

This form is an agreement to convey the use or benefit of a tract of land to another party for a specific limited purpose without giving the party the right to possess, take from, improve or sell the tract of land. Forest Conservation Ordinance Easements are legal agreements between private landowners and a government body (such as a county or state) that restrict the development of forestland in an effort to conserve and protect the land. These easements are voluntary, and landowners receive compensation in exchange for the easement, which can include tax incentives and/or cash payments. Generally, Forest Conservation Ordinance Easements prohibit activities such as logging, road building, and subdivision of land, while allowing for activities such as recreational use and the management of existing timber resources. There are two main types of Forest Conservation Ordinance Easements: perpetual and temporary. A perpetual easement is an agreement between a landowner and a government body that permanently restricts the development of forestland. These permanent easements can be used for conservation, recreation, and timber management purposes. Temporary easements are agreements between a landowner and a government body that restrict the development of forestland for a specific period of time. These temporary easements are generally used to protect a specific species or habitat while a long-term conservation plan is put in place.
