Mendham Township Environmental Commission

Dear

Your property is one of many in Mendham Township that contains a conservation easement. The easement was established to protect specific environmentally sensitive features such as streams, steep slopes and wetlands and their transition areas.

In order to maintain conservation easement records and monitor the observance of easement restrictions, the Environmental Commission has retained the consulting services of Mr. John Linson. He is a licensed forester and will be monitoring all conservation easements to inspect and photograph the condition of the easements and update Township records. Under the terms of conservation easements granted to the Township, the Township has the right to periodically inspect the easement area.

The Environmental Commission will advise you of the approximate date when the monitoring will occur on your easement. Please feel free to call one of the Commission members listed below if you have any questions or concerns before that time. We have enclosed a brochure on conservation easements and their importance as well as a map of your lot with the easement delineated. Following the inspection you will be informed of Mr. Linson’s observations and any recommendations he and the Commission might have concerning conditions that are not consistent with the easement agreement.

Thank you for being a steward of Mendham Township’s exceptional natural resources. The Environmental Commission looks forward to working with you to protect these resources.

Sincerely,

Ralph Rhodes
