What is a Land Trust?

Excellent question. A Land Trust is a nonprofit group that works to protect land and nature. They keep land safe from development by:

Conservation Easements – Agreements with landowners to protect the land’s natural value.
Land Purchase – Buying or receiving land to keep it protected.
Partnerships – Working with other groups or governments to protect land together.

Here's the simple truth: The goal of a Land Trust is to preserve land for things like wildlife, recreation, and the environment forever (yes, forever!) 💚
