Conservation Easements: How it Works

Easements for Landowners

How to get started: 

  1. Contact DU: DU staff can walk you through the process to  donate a conservation easement. 

  1. Property assessment: A regional biologist will schedule a site visit to evaluate the habitat and determine if it aligns with DU’s conservation mission. 

  1. Discuss terms: If the property is suitable, DU and the landowner together will outline the terms of the conservation easement.  

  1. Finalize details: Once terms are agreed upon, DU and the landowner will complete the necessary steps, including documentation including appraisals, title work and a property baseline report. 

  1. Seal the deal: After everything is in order, the conservation easement is signed and officially recorded.
