Many of COL's protected properties are conservation easements on privately held lands. Conservation easements are voluntary legal agreements between landholders and Chikaming Open Lands that permanently limit the uses of the land in order to protect its natural features. If you are curious about how conservation easements work, we hope you'll read about them and feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
Information about COL's current conservation easements is provided below. More pictures of these easements can be viewed in the COL Photo Gallery.
Each easement has its own page with information about its unique qualities.
