Conservation Tools

AVLT offers the following tools to landowners who wish to conserve their land:

Conservation Easements  are voluntary agreements between a landowner and a land trust that permanently preserve land for wildlife, scenic, agricultural, or historical conservation purposes. Landowners who donate an easement may be eligible for substantial estate and income tax benefits. 

Conservation Tax Credit Transfer Program  AVLT will help interested conservation easement donors sell their Colorado State income tax credits for cash. Individuals or corporations with substantial Colorado income tax liability can purchase discounted tax credits and support local land conservation while paying their taxes.

Conservation Technical Assistance Program  AVLT provides qualified landowners with the tools necessary to evaluate their conservation options and implement a conservation plan.

Conservation Buyer Program  AVLT helps match conservation-minded buyers with landowners selling critical open lands.

 

"AVLT has protected our national forest lands from development on private inholdings. They secured conservation easements on river bottom wild life preserves and kept ranch lands open and productive. AVLT is very effective at keeping the ecological fabric of our Valley intact." 

--Tom Cardamone, 
Executive Director
