CONSERVATION
EASEMENT
This is a
legal agreement between you (the landowner) and NCCT
that protects your property by permanently limiting the
way it can be used. You retain ownership and use of the
land and do not have to open it to the public. You can
sell the land or pass it on to heirs knowing that the
natural resources you value will be protected forever.
NCCT sees that the terms of the easement are carried
out.
Easements are unique to the site and to your
wishes. For example, you might choose to conserve the
whole property or only some portion of it, or you might
reserve the right to build a building on a portion of
the conserved land. |
LAND
DONATION
You may
give property to NCCT by gift or will. The Trust assumes
responsibility for managing and protecting the land. The
donation can be arranged in such a way that you retain
the right to live on the land throughout your
lifetime.
