Profile in Conservation

Interested in knowing about conservation easements and the landowners who preserve their land, to the benefit of all of us?
The following profiles were originally published in the land trusts’ newsletters and written by Frank McIntosh. They are listed below by conservation easement donor’s name, county and state.
We are proud to tell the stories of these forward-looking landowners and the protected land and watersheds their conservation easements safeguard for generations to come.
