The first of these webinars will focus on the creation of conservation easement agreements (CEAs) as legal contracts and as instruments registered on land titles. This initial webinar will be informed by the experience of land trusts and conservation authorities with the interpretation, monitoring and enforcement of CEAs gained over these past thirty years.

The second in the CEA webinar series will focus on the responsibilities of CEA holders in acquiring CEAs, issuing donation receipts and in managing CEAs as important organizational assets.

Session 3, Best Practices for Amendments and Enforcement – Dec. 9, 1:00 pm – Register here

Session 4 – TBA 

Session 5 — TBA 

In 1994, the Ontario Conservation Land Act enabled the registration of conservation easements on private lands. Land Trusts and conservation authorities now have 30 years of experience creating, registering, managing, amending and enforcing these agreements.  

In this series we will be exploring lessons learned about CEAs over the past 30 years. The series will be facilitated by Paul Peterson with guest presenters.  

This webinar series is supported by the Ecological Gifts Program of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Logistical support is provided by the Ontario Land Trust Alliance.
