We explore the use of conservation easements for landowners. Open mountain woodland like this is very desirable.
People like to build homes, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But at times it's been grossly overdone. Some areas like this need preserving. Conservation easement may just be the ticket you're looking for if you own property like this. This is going to be protected. Protection is a word often construed as locking away when it pertains to land, but I learned from Kieran Roe of the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy , that is not the case.
