Also, do you know about Curt Mitchell, Ph.D. who has a more and
less severe version of a deed restriction to prevent
clearcutting in perpetuity?  (541-942-5424) POB  38  Lorane,OR 974
97451.) He sometimes buys property, puts the deed restriction on it,
then sells it. He is eager to share his restriction with others
to do the same.  A $25 donation is requested if one actually does
use it on one*s land to defray the several thousand dollars of
his own money spent in designing it.
