house 04/09/2025 - 119th Congress
We want to limit conservation easements to a maximum of 30 years and give landowners the right to renegotiate or buy back easements that have been in place longer than that, ensuring they have clear information and fair compensation. This aims to balance land preservation with landowner rights.

Thirty years is a blink for nature — this bill shortsightedly slashes our future for a quick payout.

Conservation shouldn't become a lifetime sentence for folks who just want to manage their own land.
