Before you sign up for any kind of government program like a conservation easement on a tract of land get a good real estate attorney to review the papers and thoroughly explain what you are doing. All conservation easements are not alike. I know a tract here in Florida that the owner signed up and left a mess for the heirs. They can't do anything on the property including hunting, you aren't even suppose to walk on the property, can't graze a cow in there or anything else, and it is perpetual.
