Virtual Conversation: Land Protection with TNC in Virginia

Enjoy learning about an important way TNC in Virginia protects land--conservation easements. Conservation easements are one of the most effective tools available for the conservation of private land. Join TNC's Conservation Easement Program Manager, Matt Zabik, who has a decade of experience in this realm.

A conservation easement is a legally binding agreement that protects land for future generations. An easement may limit certain types of uses or prevent development from taking place on the land in perpetuity while the land remains in private hands.

An easement selectively targets only those rights necessary to protect specific conservation values, such as water quality or migration routes, and is individually tailored to meet a landowner's needs.

Learn more about why and how TNC holds conservation easements and the factors we use to determine where to prioritize locations.
