Description

In 2011, the Environmental Law Centre and the Miistakis Institute, at the request of the Government of Alberta's Land Use Secretariat, undertook an applied research project seeking to better understand the limitations of the current policy on conservation easements in order to inform a more robust policy.

The resulting land use restrictions are registered on title and run with the land regardless of the owner.
