What we do
Conservation easements.
Permanent protection that keeps land in private hands.
How easements work
A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement that permanently protects important conservation values while allowing land to remain in private ownership. Landowners continue to own — and often work — the land, while ensuring that its most important natural, agricultural, or scenic values remain protected forever.
It’s a flexible tool that helps preserve California’s landscapes without requiring public ownership.
