Conservation Easements

Conservation easements allow landowners and their families to preserve the benefits of agricultural lands and open space while realizing significant income and estate tax benefits. Conservation easements are flexible tools designed to meet the needs of individual landowners and ensure the long-term stewardship of Montana’s greatest resource.
