Landowners Guide to Conservation Easements by Steven Blick

They provide a means to save taxes, preserve the inherent productivity and character of the property, and insure that the lands remain in their current use forever, free from the threat of development. This book was written to provide landowners with a ready and thorough reference to the various facets of conservation easements as a prelude to discussions with their professional advisors.
