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.

Notification under this subsection does not in any way abrogate the consent requirements or rights of mineral owners under this subsection or subsection (e) of this section.
Any owner
of a mineral interest
at the time the conservation easement is created who has not received notification pursuant to this subsection may file a motion with the district court to declare the conservation easement null and void.
