SERIES: 25655
TITLE: Non-forest legacy conservation easements
DATES: 2002-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by grantor's name

DESCRIPTION: Conservation easements are created for the purpose of preserving open space. The division currently holds some conservation easements negotiated by local governments then transferred to the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands as holder (grantee) of the easement. The existing easements relate to protection of the Jordan River corridor, but other areas of the state may be included later. The division monitors the affected property to insure the grantor's actions on the property are in compliance with terms of the conservation easement. Conservation easements are drafted, signed, and recorded at county recorder's offices. Records in this series include correspondence and recorded documents (usually a deed of conservation easement), which includes a legal description of the property involved and terms and requirements associated with the easement.
