Easements

Prickly Pear Land Trust offers property owners several flexible options to assist in protecting their land. One of the most useful methods for private land protection is the conservation easement, a legal agreement entered into voluntarily by a landowner and the Prickly Pear Land Trust. A conservation easement is a practical and legally effective method for private landowners to continue to enjoy and use their property while providing permanent protection for certain features of the land. As with any charitable contribution, a donated conservation easement may have tax benefits to the donor.
