easement agreement covering the natural portion of my (our) property to the [name of
land trust]. I (We) confirm that my (our) decision to donate has been freely and
voluntarily made by me (us).
I (We) understand that my (our) intent to donate a conservation easement to our lands
is subject to acceptance by the Land Trust, and if accepted the Land Trust will
endeavour to conserve the natural features and processes of the property and protect
the property according to the terms of the conservation easement agreement. I (We)
