Annotated Sample Conservation Easement Agreement

Several Ontario statutes provide specific legislative authority for conservation agreements. The Ontario Conservation Land Act allows government organizations, conservation authorities, charitable corporations and certain other specified bodies to hold and enforce conservation agreements for land conservation and related purposes. Since this statute allows a wide variety of government and nongovernment organizations to hold conservation agreements, this sample agreement was prepared within the context of the Conservation Land Act, and all references in the sample agreement to the “Act” are references to this statute.
