Who We Are

We are a collective of passionate conservationists, united by our shared dedication to preserving the natural beauty and resources of our nation. Our group comprises environmentalists, tax law experts, landowners, and everyone in between, all of whom understand the significance of conservation easements under Section 170(h) of the United States Tax Code.

Our Mission 

Our mission is to educate and advocate. We believe that knowledge is power, and with it, we can work together to safeguard the natural wonders that define our country.

Section 170(h) is a critical tool in this endeavor. This provision in the tax code allows landowners to donate their property rights for conservation purposes, in return for tax benefits. This unique arrangement not only incentivizes the preservation of our natural resources but also facilitates partnerships between private landowners and public conservation efforts.

The Challenge 

In recent times, conservation easements have come under scrutiny and, we believe, undue criticism. Some argue that these easements are misused for financial gain, detracting from their original purpose. We recognize that no system is perfect, but it’s essential to note that the benefits of conservation easements far outweigh their potential misuse. 

Our Intent 

Our group and this website aim to shed light on the facts, dispelling misconceptions and showcasing the true value of conservation easements under Section 170(h). We want to ensure that this essential conservation tool continues to be used effectively, enabling us to conserve our nation’s resources for future generations.
