Our Operational Tools to Meet Strategic Goals

As a private not-for-profit Land Trust, our core activities are to:

Seek and accept donations
- of land for conservation purposes
- of conservation easement agreements
- of money, life estates, bequests and other forms of planned giving
- of “trade lands” that may be sold to raise funds for conservation purposes
Acquire fee-simple interest in strategic sites by the purchase of land, the purchase of easements, the part purchase/part gift (“split-receipt”) of sites
Seek community support as the source of volunteers for board members and stewards, as well as funds and land donations
Develop a strong and effective public image to gain community support and attract assistance from businesses, foundations and government agencies
Build public support by building public awareness, demonstrating successes and fundraising. These outreach and communications activities are a core function in the Strategic Plan. The success of this program will be a major factor in determining the overall success of the regional land trust.
