Land Protection & Stewardship
Caring for the Land, Now and Forever
When you protect land, you leave a legacy for generations.
Conserving Your Land
There are many ways to protect land. You may wish to sell or donate your land, or consider a conservation easement — in which you retain ownership of the property, but donate or sell the development rights to a land trust like the Harris Center. Each conservation easement is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the landowner while protecting the conservation values of the land.
Stewardship & Monitoring
With land protection comes responsibility. Every year, we visit all of our 100+ conservation easements to ensure that the terms of each easement are being upheld. In addition, Harris Center-owned lands may require habitat management, trail improvements, invasive plant removal, and signage, among other tasks, to protect their conservation values.
