Description: Conservation development is an effective way for communities to preserve meaningful open space in perpetuity as land is developed. To ensure that conservation values are preserved in perpetuity, a conservation easement must be carefully written and follow prescribed procedures to maintain the desired conservation restrictions.
Peter Ruggiero, Esq., AICP, Exeter town solicitor and attorney with Ruggiero, Orton & Brochure, will explain how conservation easements are drafted, reviewed, put into action, and effectively enforced to ensure that conservation parcels remain protected in perpetuity. Topics to be covered include ownership and management of conservation parcels, developing, writing and recording conservation easements, and monitoring and insurance considerations. There will ample time for questions and answers.
