§ 823. Interests in real property
Conservation and preservation rights and interests shall be deemed to be interests in real property and shall run with the land. A document creating such a right or interest shall be deemed to be a conveyance of real property and shall be recorded under 27 V.S.A. chapter 5 but shall not be subject to the requirement of filing a notice of claim within the 40-year period as provided in 27 V.S.A. § 603. Such a right or interest shall be enforceable in law or in equity. Any subsequent transfer, mortgage, lease, or other conveyance of the real property or an interest in the real property shall reference the grant of conservation rights and interests in the real property; provided, however, that the failure to include a reference to the grant shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the conservation rights and interests.
