Right to Privacy <br /> <br />Grantor retains the right to privacy and the right to exclude any member of the public <br />from trespassing on the Property. This Conservation Easement does not create any rights of the <br />public in, on or to the Property.

Conducting customary rural enterprises on any other part of the <br />Property is not permitted without the advance written permission of Grantee in each instance. <br />Grantee shall not give such permission unless Grantee determines that the proposed use will not <br />diminish or impair the conservation values of the Property. <br /> <br />Grantors also retain the right to use any portion of the Property for educational programs, <br />recreational activities, and entertainment of members of the general public (agritourism) so long <br />as such activities are consistent with Orange County zoning regulations and permits required by <br />and issued by Orange County under its laws and ordinances.
