Part 7: Conservation Covenants Section 121: Duration of obligation under conservation covenant
This section provides that each obligation in a conservation covenant has a specified duration, either as a result of this section or as a result of an explicit provision in the agreement.
	The parties can specify the duration of an obligation under a conservation covenant. If they do not do so, an obligation under a conservation covenant has effect for the "default period" which is:
a period of indefinite duration where the relevant qualifying estate is a freehold estate; or
the remainder of the term where the relevant qualifying estate is a leasehold estate.
	Accordingly, a conservation covenant created by a freeholder will be of indefinite duration if the parties do not specify a shorter duration. The duration of a conservation covenant created by a leaseholder cannot exceed the remainder of the term of the lease but, again, the parties may specify a shorter term.
