For landowners
Your land. Your legacy.
If you own land you love, a conservation easement can protect it forever — while keeping it in your family and, often, in production.
A voluntary, flexible tool
A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement that permanently protects a property’s most important natural, agricultural, or scenic values while the land stays in private ownership. You continue to own — and often work — the land, with the assurance that what makes it special is protected forever. It’s a flexible way to preserve California’s landscapes without requiring public ownership.
