How You Can Help
There are two ways you can participate in the Conservation Buyer Program:
- Contribute to the Land Preservation Fund
The Conservation Buyer Program often draws upon The Nature Conservancy’s Land Preservation Fund for the purpose of buying and reselling important conservation lands to conservation buyers. This high-leverage, market-based conservation tactic uses a revolving fund strategy whereby each time property acquired with Fund dollars is resold, the proceeds are recycled back into the Fund. Your contributions to the Land Preservation Fund can help the Conservancy in its efforts to protect critical habitats for present and future generations.
- Become a Conservation Buyer
Conservation buyers are individuals searching for natural lands in which to invest financial resources while protecting the property's natural and biological resources. Many discerning private, conservation-minded individuals have an interest in or passion for some aspects of nature, such as bird watching, trout fishing, and restoration projects, making them a natural conservation partner for the Conservancy. That is why the Conservancy is focused on trying to connect private buyers with natural places to further sustain long-term biological diversity. Conservation easements are used to make sure the land and its important natural features are protected in perpetuity by the conservation buyer.
