Conservation Easement Sample Deed

A sample deed of trust for a Virginia conservation easement (pdf) is here.

Virginia Governer Timothy M. Kaine has set a goal to conserve four hundred thousand acres during his four-year term. Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources L. Preston Bryant Jr. has called for more lawyers to counsel landowners about the legal and tax ramifications of donating or selling conservation easements.

The Virginia State Bar is partnering with the DNR to offer continuing legal education to prepare attorneys for this work.

From the Highlights of Virginia State Bar Council Meeting.
