Will the carbon transaction become a part of the easement? 

No. The stipulations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Grassland Easement prevent the loss of carbon, but there is no encumbrance of the carbon rights in the easement document, nor is there reference to the associated carbon agreement between the landowner and Ducks Unlimited. DU’s carbon agreement makes reference to the easement as the basis for securing the carbon, but is a separate agreement between DU and the landowner.
