A Conservation Agreement, also referred to as a Conservation Easement, limits the development of a property and preserves the natural beauty of the land and its contribution to habitat and watershed. In this type of arrangement, The Berlin Land Trust partners with the land owner thus protecting the property from development while the land owner retains ownership.
