Opportunities for Reform and Reimagining in Conservation Easement and Land Use Law: A To-Do List for Sustainable, Perpetual Land Conservation
Jessica Jay provides a view of the immediate, ongoing and future needs for reform or reimagining in land conservation law. Jay explains the immediate needs within the existing legal framework, and walks through the necessary ways to adapt the legal framework, such as reworking land valuation, and then concludes with proposals for more visionary legal reforms. Jay explains that such reforms and reimagining are intended to sustain and secure perpetual land conservation as a continuing, dynamic and flexible source for critical resource management and protection at the local, state, federal and global levels. These reforms will also ensure equitable, inclusive, diverse and just land protection in the context of past, current and future generations of land use and users.
