A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement that permanently limits certain uses or development rights associated with real property in order to protect its conservation values, while allowing the landowner to retain ownership of the property. The easement is typically conveyed to a qualified land trust, governmental entity, or other eligible conservation organization responsible for enforcing its terms.

A partial interest valuation involves the appraisal of less than the entire ownership interest in a property. This may include a fractional or undivided ownership interest held by one of multiple owners, or the valuation of specific real property rights that have been separated, transferred, restricted, or encumbered, such as an easement, leasehold interest, or other interest in real estate.
