Pomona v.39 #3 page 64-65: Richard Fahey describes a couple methods for
maintaining
orchards for posterity.

Great ideas!! I don't know if there is a big difference between New York &
Wisconsin, but the phrases here for what he describes are (I think) deed
restriction
& life estate. I'm NOT a land preservation lawyer, but am familiar w/ a
couple
environmental groups which use 'conservation easement' (a kind of deed
restriction)
to protect land. I suppose the same could be used to protect orchards.

The main comment I want to add to Fahey's is, the kind of deed restrictions
I've
learned about have a third party check on the property on a regular basis (for
example, annually) to document that the conditions of the deed restriction
are being
followed. This documentation can be used as proof in court that the
land-protection
is active & valid, if ever in the future someone wants to use the land for
another
purpose by arguing that the deed restriction wasn't honored.
