Planning Projects Around Conservation Easements

If you are planning a project that contemplates work in a conservation easement you will need to obtain permission from the DEQ Stewardship Program prior to finalizing your plan and performing work within the conservation easement. See Obtaining Permission To Perform Work In A Conservation Easement for more information. Questions regarding the encroachment process may be directed by email to stewardship@deq.nc.gov or by phone at 919-707-8536.
