Conservation Easements Projects
The Cacapon and Lost Rivers Land Trust is the only homegrown organization exclusively dedicated to permanently protecting land in the Cacapon and Lost Rivers Valley. We have worked with our Valley’s landowners for over 30 years to protect the natural resources, beauty, land-based economy, and uniqueness of our Valley. We strive to protect lands that are ecologically rich and that support our rural economy in a network of natural land hubs and corridors. The conservation easement is the primary tool of our work.
Conservation easements protect your land, securing the future of agriculture and forestry, providing for wildlife, and preserving the beauty of our landscape for generations to come. By choosing an easement agreement, landowners can ensure that their property’s natural values and scenic qualities will be around for future generations to enjoy.
