The Dauphin County Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase Program preserves farmland for the future by purchasing agricultural conservation easements. The easements prevent the land from being used for any purpose other than agricultural production. The landowners still own the land and can sell the land or pass it on to heirs. However, the restrictions of the Deed of Easement stay with the land and apply to any subsequent owner. The easement is purchased in perpetuity meaning that the restrictions on the land are forever.

Landowners may build agricultural buildings such as barns, poultry houses or milking facilities. The easement also allows for the construction of one additional residence on the restricted land. There are also restrictions on subdivision of land subject to these easements as well as part time or off season businesses.
