Are
you a landowner interested in preserving your special property?
As a landowner you may care deeply about your land. You may enjoy
the wildlife that lives there, know each great tree that shades
it, or have wonderful memories tied to your special landscape. As
steward of your land you may have great concern for its future.
If
you are one such landowner, Genesee Land Trust may be able to help
you ensure that your land will remain protected beyond your ownership.
Deciding
to protect your land in perpetuity is a personal decision –
and we at Genesee Land Trust understand that. We speak almost daily
with property owners who have just started to consider conserving
their land and are looking for information about their options.
Conserving
your land starts with your vision for its future. It also involves
your financial and tax circumstances, the value of the land itself,
and the conservation goals of Genesee Land Trust. Some permanent
protection techniques that we utilize entail certain transaction
costs. We will clearly describe to you the preservation tools we
use, and outline any possible costs to you as your decision proceeds.
For more information:
Please do not hesitate to contact us at info@geneseelandtrust.org
or (585) 256-2130 to discuss your property.
