Why should I grant a conservation easement to the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy?

People execute a conservation easement because they love their land and want to protect it from inappropriate uses, while keeping their private ownership of the property. Landowners voluntarily enter into a conservation agreement usually because they want to make sure that the conservation values of their land (wildlife habitat, scenic views, natural areas, working farms and ranches, etc.) don’t change in the future. Additionally, granting an easement to an organization like the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy may yield income and other tax savings. Moreover, we bring over 30 years of expertise and experience working with landowners to ensure that your land will remain as a permanent natural area.
