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.
