Common use of Conservation Easements Clause in Contracts

Conservation Easements. ‌ The Conservancy expects to rely extensively on the purchase of conservation easements to assemble the reserve system. Conservation easements are the preferred habitat protection method for actively cultivated lands, as certain ongoing agricultural uses support achievement of the Yolo HCP/NCCP biological goals and objectives. Procedures and requirements for conservation easements are described in several sections of the Yolo HCP/NCCP, including but not limited to: Section 7.5.5 (Conservation Easements) and Section 7.5.10 (Use of Mitigation Banks). While the Conservancy will itself acquire conservation easements in the course of assembling the reserve system, the Yolo HCP/NCCP also specifically authorizes conservation easements acquired by other qualified easement holders, as defined in California Civil Code section 815 et seq., to assemble the reserve system.
