The conservation easement was placed on the property in 2009 by its former owners, who wanted to preserve the land’s untouched beauty. Conservation easements are voluntary and developed in partnership with land trusts. While the land can be owned privately, the easement becomes part of the permanent title record, according to the Sonoma Land Trust.
It's amazing to me how cavalier people on here are about private property rights. Why the hell do previous owners' wishes matter whatsoever with what the present owners do with the property? This erosion of private property rights has to stop.
And one small note, how can weeds be invasive if they're from literally next door?

Because contracts are a thing

Because the previous owners gave rights away for that property and the current owners bought the property knowing they didn’t have those rights any longer. Why is that so hard to understand? They didn’t buy full control over a portion of the property.

If a previous owner sells away certain property rights, those rights do not get conveyed to subsequent owners.
You clearly know very little about property rights.

You don’t have any rights if you sign a contract stating so prior to taking ownership of the property.

You want to know how I know that you don't have any trees in your yard?
What a dumb response I have about 20 or more trees in my yard, many I planted. I've been hit by a tornado and lost dozens of trees, also.
You may not want trees right next to the house, although they provide wonderful shade, but I'll see people just clear out over an acre of trees just to do it

Bring it to the supreme court they'll win

Its not the previous owner's wishes. The previous owners legally granted an easement. The buyers knew about it and purchased the property anyway.

Please show statute.
Currently, there are no state laws in Louisiana to protect historic or heritage trees and only spotty local ordinances that offer any protection from human removal. The only ordinance I’m aware of is the Metairie Ridge Tree Preservation District (Old Metairie). The fine is only $500.00 for removing a protected tree.

straight to an appellate court.
they didn't kill the tree, they moved it. will get tossed at a higher court level.

As the proud owner of a 100 year old live oak on my property I cannot fathom anyone thinking they could successfully transplant one.

If they aren't allowed to move it and did, how would it get tossed out?

Apparently not.

No sympathy for the couple.
Yeah, can't believe they thought they could do what they want with their own property. Can't have that shite. How would the government be the ultimate authority over every aspect of everyone's lives, if people can do what they want with their property, right?

Since they betrayed the conservation agreement, does this count as committing treeson?

Moving the tree killed it.
