Conserve Land

How can I conserve land?
Land means different things to different people: family heritage, working landscapes, habitat for plants and animals, solace and solitude, artistic inspiration, or simply a connection to place.  At Valley Land Fund, we work with landowners to retain the values they attach to their land, and help them protect the land from unwanted development. We guide landowners as they consider options and assist them in the steps to legally preserve their land, whether by Conservation Restriction (CR), Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR), or an outright gift or sale. Recipients may include conservation organizations, state agencies, or local municipalities. Gifts and donations to nonprofit conservation groups with 501(c)(3) status are usually tax-deductible. If you would like more information on ways to conserve your land, please contact Sally Loomis at 413-588-1418 or info@valleylandfund.org.
