What if I want to donate my land instead of donating a conservation easement?

Donating land for conservation purposes may be the best conservation strategy for you if you do not wish to pass your land to heirs, if you own property you no longer use, if you own a highly appreciated property, if you have substantial real estate holdings and wish to reduce estate tax burdens, or if you would merely like to be relieved of the responsibility of managing and caring for land.

North Olympic land Trust accepts donations of land with and without conservation value. In most cases lands with conservation value will either be held permanently or protected with a conservation easement and then sold to a conservation buyer. Lands without conservation value may be sold to fund future projects and the work of the Land Trust. The donor’s wishes for the management of the land will always be taken into consideration by North Olympic Land Trust.
