Land Protection

Lacawac's preservation efforts are for charitable and educational intentions exclusively.  We are committed to build and sustain an organization that can provide conservation opportunities and stewardship in perpetuity.  Through our land protection efforts and community outreach, Lacawac connects local communities to the importance of actively supporting and sustaining our forests, and waters.  Our mission of preservation allows us to conserve the precious lands vital to clean drinking water, biological diversity, outdoor recreation, and to the overall beauty and quality of life.

Every property and every landowner are unique. Lacawac is here to help you find the land preservation option best suited for you and your property. Lacawac works with local private landowners, municipalities, and other partners to protect the land in two ways.
  1. We draft conservation easements with landowners enabling them to retain ownership while restricting or eliminating the development potential of the land. There may be additional tax incentives for this type of arrangement. 
  2. ​We work with landowners who donate their land to Lacawac.
