Learn how the fabric of conservation easements in the Piedmont is building a legacy of preservation while enabling these families to continue to work and cherish their lands.
An easement is a voluntary land preservation agreement between a landowner and a land conservation organization, designed to protect the agricultural resources, forest resources, scenic open space, or wildlife habitat that may exist on a property.
The majority of conservation easements are donated to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF), a state agency. We urge landowners to donate easements to VOF, as state-held easements offer greater protection than those held by private organizations.
