  • Income Tax Deductions: Donating land for conservation can provide substantial income tax deductions.

  • Estate Tax Relief: Your donation can reduce the taxable value of your estate, benefiting your heirs.

​​

• Ensure Permanent Protection

  Land donated to the Conservancy because of its conservation value is safeguarded forever. Whether it’s a scenic vista, a critical wildlife habitat, or a historical landmark, your land will remain protected from development and degradation.
