Kansas conservation easements face Senate bill limits
Editorial warns that a Kansas Senate committee approved bill would cap conservation easements at 50 years or until the owner's death, undermining long term protection of land. It highlights who holds easements, including Kansas Land Trust and partnerships with Fort Riley and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and notes statewide totals around 130,000 acres. The piece urges lawmakers to reject the measure to preserve conservation tools and ongoing protection of natural land.
