What kind of land can be protected by a CR?

A CR can be placed on different types and sizes of land, though generally 5 acres or more is a preferred minimum. Forests, wetlands, wildlife habitat, farmlands, and scenic areas are all common examples of lands that may be conserved. Land trusts like Kestrel—as well as town or state agencies—have their own criteria that determine whether a property is appropriate for conservation, so each situation must be evaluated individually.
