A land trust
is a non-profit organization directly involved in permanently protecting
important land resources for public benefit. It may accept donations of
properties, buy land, or help landowners establish legal restrictions
that limit harmful use and development. It protects land that has natural,
recreational, scenic, historic, or productive value, depending on the
needs of the community.
Land trusts
may use a variety of flexible and creative conservation methods that achieve
conservation goals while meeting the specific needs of the community and
landowner. Many approaches offer income, estate, or property tax benefits
that help make conservation attractive and affordable.
