Donating a conservation easement is a complex process that most people are not familiar with. Conservation easements affect landowners' property now and in the future.

There are times during a conservation easement project when a specialist or lawyer is needed, but not for every task and decision. Why pay expensive fees when most of the work can be done by an advocate for a lot less money?

Conservation Assistance does not offer legal or accounting counsel.

Conservation Assistance is also affiliated with another business called Ripple Works Rafting Supply that provides quality camping and river rafting products.

Conservation easements are legal agreements between landowners and a land trust or government agency that permanently limit uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. They allow landowners to continue to own and use the land and to sell it or pass it on to their heirs.

Why would I need a conservation easement advocate?

Most landowners find that the donation of a conservation easement takes more time and effort to complete than they first expected. They also find that they need financial and legal expertise to protect their interests and carefully consider their options.

An experienced conservation easement advocate, like Conservation Assistance, can help landowners navigate through the process, avoid pitfalls, explore different options and work with other easement consultants. Typically, an experienced conservation easement advisor can help landowners spend less money on their project and prevent some headaches.
