There are many reasons why a landowner might choose to place a conservation easement on their property. Perhaps it is about the history and legacy of the land and knowing that it will remain in agricultural production forever. Or maybe it is a financial strategy for both reducing the value of the property and lowering tax burdens. Regardless of the reason, Alaska Farmland Trust is here to help.
Alaska Farmland Trust is a private non-profit dedicated to the permanent protection of Alaska’s limited and incredibly valuable soils. As the interest in, and demand for, local food skyrockets, our Board of Directors is dedicated to preserving the availability of parcels viable for agricultural production.
Alaska Farmland Trust is one of only a handful of qualified IRS qualified, tax exempt organizations that can hold conservation easements. Learn more about the tax incentives associated with conservation easements on our website at https://www.akfarmland.com/donate/donating-conservation-easements/
