GA HR1889

Georgia House of Representatives expresses support for both termed and perpetual conservation easements as tools for promoting conservation on private lands

Conservation easements are voluntary, free-market contracts that allow landowners to monetize environmental and habitat values while protecting private property rights

Easements provide wildlife habitats on private lands, supporting hunting opportunities and increasing habitats for game species

Agricultural producers can use easements to maintain or expand operations, pass land to heirs, and keep private land in agricultural production to benefit rural economies

The Clerk of the House is directed to distribute copies of this resolution to the public and press
