The South Colton Conservation Easement is comprised of 1,726 acres. In 2001, The Department of Environmental Conservation and Land Management Development, Inc., finalized this Conservation Easement. A conservation easement is an agreement with the private landowner that can allow restricted or non-restricted public access and protects open space by limiting development. The private landowner may retain the right to manage the property for purposes such as leasing camps and lands to private individuals and sustainable timber production. Logging trucks, skidders and other logging equipment may be present during logging operations. Specific lands and roads may be closed to public access during logging operations. The current landowner for the South Colton Conservation Easement Tract is Park Forestry, LLC.
