The Centre County Farmland Trust partners with landowners to preserve their land and its natural resources with a conservation easement that stays with the land — no matter who owns it in the future.
Conservation easements are tailored to the landowner’s goals and restrict future development. Landowners essentially sacrifice their development rights for the greater good.
Learn how conservation easements work, about the Farmland Trust’s stewardship program and how to explore preserving your land.
Conservation easements
This legal agreement protects land and its natural resources by restricting development. It is tailored to the landowner’s goals.
Our stewardship program
CCFT safeguards the conservation easement with annual visits to the land and by tending relationships with landowners.
Preserve your land: Where to start
Families preserve their land to benefit us all, for a variety of reasons including love of land, peace of mind and possible tax credits.
