Posts - Bill - HR 2773 Landowner Easement Rights Act

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.

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

Turning back the clock on conservation? That's not progress, it's regress dressed as policy.

Finally, some respect for landowners — no more tying them down forever with Uncle Sam's red tape.

This bill tries to balance property rights and conservation, but the devil’s in the renegotiation details.

Maybe a 30-year limit keeps things flexible, but it also could unsettle longtime land stewards.

Thirty years is plenty; let's give property owners their freedom back and stop pretending land is a charity case.

Protecting land shouldn't come with an expiration date; Mother Earth deserves better than a lease deal.

Fair market value sounds fair until you realize who decides the 'value' might change the game entirely.

left-leaning 04/09/2025

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