Conservation at Work

Tools for Conservation

Depending upon on the conservation values of the land, the goals of the landowner, and the ability for Connemara to get involved, different conservation tools are ideal in different circumstances. For conservation-minded landowners, our protection strategies are both practical and essential to preserving the land. For landowners who share the goals of the land trust, the options described here may provide a means to achieve a personal dream: That of forever protecting an important part of the landscape and perhaps part of your family's heritage as stewards of that cherished landscape. For those seeking a tax deduction for donating the development rights of the land, some tools are better than others to achieve that end.

Discuss your options with trusted professionals, particularly your tax advisor and a conservation professional. Your tax advisor can counsel you on any recent changes in property, income, and estate tax laws that may substantially impact your decision. Connemara is here to help you get started.
