In February, City Council considered preserving the James River Park System with a conservation easement. The conservation easement was signed into law on Friday, May 29, 2009. It is now guaranteed that about 280 acres of James River Park System, Belle Isle, and Great Shiplock Park can never be sold or developed. The easement also cannot be undone by future state and city leaders.
Shared Air suggests that this might be the first major urban park system in the country preserved in perpetuity under a conservation easement. [via]

The RTD has the details on a conservation easement City Council is considering for the James River Park System.
A conservation easement would be placed on about 280 acres of parkland, including the James River Park System, Great Shiplock Park and Belle Isle, meaning the land never could be sold or developed, even with ball fields or cell-phone towers…
City Council President Kathy C. Graziano said Richmond’s riverfront parkland also warrants a guarantee of protection. “A future council may want to sell pieces of it,” she said. An easement “protects it from that, but it also protects it as a natural park. The beauty of the park is it’s a natural oasis in the middle of the city.”
