Our committee of people pursuing Green Burial have been thinking about =
easements.  NSNT and some of the other conservation trusts have them, as =
does the Ecology Action Centre.  We hope to have some land donated for =
the purpose of Conservation (i.e. very green) Burial.

We have a meeting coming up, August 2, if any of you would like to =
attend.  Email us for details.

Thanks Lance,

Hi John,

=20

The answer is that in Nova Scotia and other Canadian Provinces that =
I=E2=80=99m familiar with, an easement is between the land owner and an =
eligible body. The =E2=80=98eligible body=E2=80=99 is the key phrase. In =
Nova Scotia an eligible body is:

=20

*         Her Majesty in right of the Province or any agency of Her =
Majesty in right of the Province;

*         Her Majesty in right of Canada or any agency of Her Majesty in =
right of Canada;

*         A municipality or any agency of a municipality;

*         Any of the thirteen Nova Scotia Mi=E2=80=99kmaw bands or any =
legal organization representing two or more of the bands;

*         Any organization that was, immediately before this Act comes =
into force, designated by the Governor in Council as a conservation =
organization under the former Act;

*         Any other organization designated pursuant to the regulations

=20

NSNT would be such a designated organization. A private citizen would =
not be.

My source is the Conservation Easements Act of the Province of Nova =
Scotia.

Thanks for this, Caitlin.  It clarifies a lot.

=20

Some years back, a landowner with a plot of land in two adjacent =
municipal units (one a town) willed us a chunk of her land.  For legal =
reasons, we were not able to assume ownership, but I remember advising =
her heirs that they could take out a conservation easement on the land =
in question.  Offered to help further and never heard back, but I am =
sure the offspring honoured their ma=E2=80=99s wishes to the best of =
their ability.

=20

My point (question?) is that if an owner wants to protect his or her =
land and if NSNT or the Nature Conservancy of Canada doesn=E2=80=99t =
take it, the owner can take steps to apply his or her own legal =
easements on the land (can=E2=80=99t he/she??).

Hi all,=20

=20

One mechanism for protecting amazing forest parcels, eg. old growth =
forest, on your property is through a private land conservation =
organization. Those groups sometimes have the ability to help landowners =
protect their property through a conservation easement - that's a legal =
document that maintains conservation values on a property "in =
perpetuity". =20

=20

Those charity groups who do this work have only a few staff on hand and =
limited resources. Putting a conservation easement on a property and =
maintaining that over time is a time consuming legal process that =
requires fairly substantial funding from the NGO to cover those legal =
fees, future monitoring of the lands, etc. That means these groups only =
have the ability to take on certain properties that they can get funding =
to take on. They usually have fairly strict criteria for being able to =
take on a property. Despite that, I'd encourage anyone with something =
exceptional on their lands that they'd like to see protected to contact =
an NGO such as the Nature Trust or the Nature Conservancy of Canada and =
explore what options might be possible. Just keep in mind that the =
funding might not be there and that the amazing folks who work for those =
NGOs are working really hard behind the scenes and so it may take some =
time for them to respond to your calls or emails.

Hi Dave and all,

I agree that we need more alternatives for saving our patches of land =

A number of years ago, on one my birding field trips, I came upon a =

Sugar Maple-Yellow Birch forest, in the high country of Pictou County =
with a beautiful view of the valley below. In the course of our =

the land. Today that land is part of an industrial-scale wind energy =

Hi John & All,

    I suspect conservation, and nature worship, rank high in the minds =

    If you aim to protect 12% of an area then 78% is unprotected and =
what good is a pail if 78% of the bottom is missing ?

as a way of managing all landscapes.=20

GIFTS TO A FUTURE WORLD: CONVERSATIONS WITH WOODLAND OWNERS IN NOVA =
SCOTIA

=20

By Andrew W. Kekacs

=20

Abstract:

=20

Private, non-industrial woodland owners provide more than half of the =
timber used by Nova Scotia=E2=80=99s forest products industry. Research, =
however, suggests many of these owners do not consider income from =
timber sales to be their primary reason for owning woodland. This study =
aimed to reach a holistic understanding of their attitudes and =
motivations using walking interviews on the owners=E2=80=99 woodlands =
and a grounded theory approach to analysis, in which explanations of the =
phenomena under study are induced from the data rather than being based =
on responses to survey questions or derived from a priori hypotheses. =
Forest landowners interviewed for this research were most concerned with =
the conservation =E2=80=93 and ultimately the conveyance =E2=80=93 of =
values that provide them with no immediate economic returns. The high =
value placed on these =E2=80=9Cgifts to a future world=E2=80=9D offers a =
new way to think about the design of programs meant to encourage active =
management of private forestland.
