About This Practical Pointer

Most land trusts adopt at least three categories of violations: minor, moderate and major. Some land trusts separate technical deficiencies from minor violations and thus have four categories of violations: technical, minor, moderate and major. These brief descriptions show how many land trusts define categories of easement violations. Your land trust should determine which approach best serves your mission, will work for your land trust procedurally and is most acceptable to your landowners and your community.
