Guidelines for Selection of Easement Holders
Published November 22, 2004

In reviewing and acting upon applications for development, the Commission may require, or applicants may propose, conservation easements for the protection of significant natural resources. Conservation easements convey certain conservation rights in a parcel of land to an entity to hold and protect for the long term. This document is intended to guide the Commission in determining the acceptability of a proposed holder of a conservation easement. These considerations are also intended to provide guidance to an applicant as to what is likely to be an acceptable holder of such an easement. Effective 12/16/1993, Addendum 08/18/1994, Addendum Effective 11/10/04.
