I write because you have trespassed on the Preserve by XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The fill also violates the Conservation Easement that further protects the xxx and that is held by the xxxxx (xxx) . As your actions have violated the statute and the Conservation Easement and damaged the Conservancy’s property, you are accountable. Members of the Conservancy staff will reach out to you about remediation.  \nAt this stage, no lawsuit has been filed, the costs incurred are low, and we potentially welcome your involvement in restoring the xxxxx. However, if we do not hear from you and begin to work with you to remediate the area and resolve the issue to our satisfaction, the Conservancy will have to consider their other remedies. If that happens, the amount of attorney’s fees and legal costs will swiftly mount. In such a lawsuit, the Conservancy will seek a court order requiring you to pay for the clean-up, restoration, and future monitoring of the site, and the Conservancy will seek reimbursement of all expert costs, legal costs, and attorney’s fees.  \nAs I stated, we are at the beginning stages of addressing this issue. Your involvement now may dramatically reduce the level of costs involved and avoid a lawsuit. However, we must hear from you by June 30, 2024. Please know that we would much prefer to work with you to resolve this trespass and damage to the property.  \nSincerely,  \ncc: Director landowner  \nCease and Desist Example B  \nMay 28, 2024  \nName and address  \nRe: Unapproved Road Improvement, Surface Alteration & Fencing  \nDear Mr. and Mrs.,  \nOn May 24, 2024, LT staff observed and documented XXXXXXXX on your property.
