Conservation Easements in Louisiana

Conservation easements can meet the needs of interested owners of working farms, ranches, timberlands, sporting properties, and recreational lands, who wish to protect valuable natural resources while retaining ownership of the property. A perpetual conservation easement allows a landowner to protect key natural habitats of a property while continuing to use the area for economic gain or recreation.

Accomplishments
Through January 1, 2004, Ducks Unlimited has protected 16,125 acres of forested wetlands via donated conservation easements in Louisiana.
