§ 34-1-202 — Creation; conveyance; acceptance and duration

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this article, a
conservation easement may be created, conveyed, recorded,
assigned, released, modified, terminated or otherwise altered or
affected in the same manner as other easements. The provisions
of W.S. 34-1-141 shall apply to this article.
(b) No right or duty in favor of or against a holder and
no right in favor of a person having a third-party right of
enforcement arises under a conservation easement before its
acceptance by the holder and a recordation of the acceptance.
(c) Except as provided by W.S. 34-1-203(b), a conservation
easement is unlimited in duration unless the instrument creating
the easement provides otherwise.
(d) An interest in real property and any interest in
minerals including any leasehold interests are not impaired in
any way by a conservation easement unless the owners of those
interests consent to the conservation easement.
(e) This act shall not alter the law of Wyoming regarding
the primacy of the mineral estate and any easement created
hereunder shall not limit the right of a mineral owner or his
lessee to reasonable use of the surface for the purpose of
mineral exploration and production unless the owners and lessees
of the entire mineral estate and geologic sequestration right
are a party to the conservation easement or consent to the
conservation easement.
