How Can I
Protect My Land?
Landowners can protect all or some of their land by establishing a
conservation easement. Because each property has unique features, each
easement is somewhat different, designed to suit the property and the
needs of the landowner.
In
evaluating potential easements, Winnakee considers several key
criteria. Whether you are limiting future development, saving
historic farmland, or protecting a stunning viewshed, establishing an
easement is a way of giving to future generations.
Trail easements with public access have slightly different criteria.
Winnakee has worked extensively on local trails systems and parkland and
is happy to speak with anyone interested in our trails programs.
