There are plenty of organizations willing to disseminate inaccurate and unreliable information to further their own interests, including FreedomAdvocates.EDIT: I'm saying that I myself have been involved in conservation easements, have written several, have worked with state and federal agencies as well as several legitimate nonprofit organizations such as The Conservation Fund and National Wild Turkey Federation working within eased properties as well as conducting pre-agreement floral, faunal, and land use surveys, and am well qualified to call bullshit when I see it. FreedomAdvocates acts as if landowners have no say in the process when in fact they have most of it.My family owns 130+ acres of land with easements that I will inherit without any restriction as to what I can do on the property.
