Preserve Your Legacy: Donate Land to the Prospect Land Trust
Landowners who cherish their land and recognize the invaluable gifts it provides—clean air and water, fresh food, wildlife habitat, and scenic beauty—have a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact. By donating your land to a land trust, you can ensure these benefits continue for generations to come.
Why Donate Land to a Land Trust? By partnering with the Prospect Land Trust, you can safeguard your land’s natural beauty and ecological value, ensuring it remains undeveloped and preserved for the community.
How We Help: The Prospect Land Trust is here to guide you through every step of the land conservation process. We provide answers to your questions and support you in making informed decisions. It’s essential to consult with your own qualified, independent legal and financial advisors and discuss these decisions with all family members who will be affected.
Two Popular Land Conservation Options:
-
Conservation Easement: A voluntary, legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust that permanently limits land use to protect its conservation values. Landowners retain ownership but the conservation restrictions remain forever.
-
Donate or Sell Property: Landowners can donate or sell property, development rights, or do a bargain sale with a land trust. These donations benefit the public and can qualify as tax-deductible charitable donations.
