The Process

If you are interested in conserving your land, there is a general process that will be followed:

1.  Contact the Conservancy to start the process.
2.  The project is presented to the Board for initial discussion.
3.  If approved, the Board will explore the land further, including a site visit.
4.  The needs and goals of the owner is discussed at greater depth.
5.  A stewardship fund needs to be established. 
6.  An appraisal, survey, and deed/title work is started.

Typically, this process can take 9-12 months. Read more about the criteria used to evaluate land for conservation.
