 | | A "profit a prendre" is the right to take part of the soil or produce of land (soil, gravel, oil, gas, minerals, timber, etc.) owned by someone else, or the right to participate in the land profits. |
 | | A profit differs from an easement, inasmuch as one of the features of an easement is the absence of all rights to participate in the profits of the land bearing the easement. |
 | | Many transfers historically considered to be profits a prendre are really deeds or leases, such as timber deeds, timber leases, or gravel leases. |
