conservation land

Legally safeguarded wilderness

Conservation land is property set aside for environmental protection rather than development.

It may preserve wildlife habitat, watersheds, historic sites, or scenic landscapes.

The term often appears in local government contexts: The town acquired thirty acres of conservation land along the river.

Such land typically has legal restrictions preventing future building or commercial use.
