                                              Nature feeds our soul and a healthy environment fosters our own health.  We can keep our land healthy through permanent land management agreements designed to protect our special places forever. 

                                              The Conservancy works with private landowners to protect the special places they love through voluntary agreements called conservation easements.  Legally binding and permanent, these agreements are recorded on the Deed and are tailored to a property to protect its special natural features such as habitat, scenic views, shoreline, agricultural land, rare and endangered species, and more.  Part of what makes a conservation easement such a valuable tool for protecting land is the fact that is voluntary, yet permanent and keeps the land in private ownership.

                                              The Conservancy began working on conservation easements in 2000 and holds conservation easements on lands peppered throughout its Ashland, Bayfield, Sawyer and Douglas County service area.  These properties range from Lake Superior, inland lake and river shorelines to working farms, wetlands and large blocks of contiguous forest habitat.
