Interested in conserving your land? We can help!

Read about the different ways you can conserve your land below, and get in touch with us if you'd like to start a conversation.

Conservation easements

A conservation easement is a legal agreement between you, the landowner, and us, Fertile Ground Conservancy, that permanently limits certain types of uses or development on the land, while allowing you to retain ownership. This is one of the most common methods of land conservation. The terms of the easement are negotiated between you and FGC, and once established, we are responsible for monitoring and enforcing the terms of the easement in perpetuity.

Donation of land

You may choose to donate your land outright to Fertile Ground Conservancy. This transfer of ownership ensures that the land will be permanently protected and managed by FGC for conservation purposes.

Bequests

You can include provisions in your will or estate plan to leave your land to Fertile Ground Conservancy upon your death. This allows you to retain ownership and use of the land during your lifetime while ensuring its protection in the future.
