You may want to consider a Conservation Easement.

A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement between you and Texas Land Conservancy that allows you to continue owning and using your land, while putting the responsibility of conserving the land in our hands.

Conservation easements are most commonly self-funded by landowners wanting to protect their land. There are some rare circumstances where landowners can be paid for their easements. This opportunity is highly competitive and your property would need to meet very specific criteria to qualify.

Funded Conservation Easement

Funding for conservation easements is limited and highly competitive. Only exceptional conservation properties typically qualify.

Properties are generally evaluated based on factors such as wildlife habitat, water resources, landscape connectivity, and conservation priorities.

Self-Funded Conservation Easement

This is the most common pathway for landowners who want to permanently protect their property.

You cover the costs of establishing the conservation easement and may be eligible for federal tax benefits associated with your conservation gift.

Land Gift

Donating your property can create a lasting conservation legacy. There are several ways your land gift can support conservation.
