Land Conservation Act

The Land Conservation Act refers to laws that protect natural land, forests, and open spaces by restricting development or certain activities to preserve their ecological, recreational, and aesthetic values. These laws aim to ensure that land remains available for future generations, supporting biodiversity and environmental health while balancing economic growth. They often include regulations, conservation easements, or management practices that limit urban sprawl and promote sustainable land use. Overall, the Act helps maintain natural landscapes, protect ecosystems, and ensure responsible stewardship of land resources.
