The key steps in processing an easement to be held by the Long Green Lant Trust, Inc. include:

• Landownder submits a non-binding completed application to LGLT

• Field visit - LGLT staff meet with landowner for a preliminary discussion of landowner’s objectives. Conservation features, structures, land use of property are photographed.

• Staff help to identify the best preservation program for the landowner.

• LGLT staff completes background research (i.e. zoning, additional conservation information.)

• Easement proposal is submitted to LGLT board for approval.

Monitoring of easements

Generally every two years, an LGLT and/or co-sponsor representative will contact the landowner to schedule a site visit to determine if the terms of the easement are being met. Other visits will occur on an as needed basis.
