New Hampshire Conservation Easement Program

The New Hampshire Conservation Easement Program enables landowners to permanently protect their land from development while retaining ownership. By granting a conservation easement, owners set restrictions to preserve natural resources, open space, or wildlife habitats. The program often offers financial incentives, such as tax benefits or grants, to encourage conservation efforts. It ensures that land remains protected for future generations, supporting environmental health and community character, while allowing continued private ownership and use within established guidelines.
