Conversion easements involve voluntary binding agreements that perpetually protect conservation-worthy land from modification, development or adverse use. It was not commonly used as a conservation tool until 1980s when the Congress amended the tax code - mainly Section 170(h). The amendment created tax deductions to landowners when conservation easements were donated to nonprofit organizations. It was in 2015 when the Congress, on a bipartisan basis, permanently created enhancement to the federal tax benefits for conservation easements.
