The goal of the Lake County Land Trust is to preserve land permanently and when possible provide public access for aesthetic and recreational uses. The Trust can hold Conservation Easements which are a creative way to preserve land in perpetuity while still maintaining private ownership.
Land trusts are private, non-profit corporations that work to protect land for various values. Most of the land trusts nation-wide are involved with protecting land with sensitive and important natural habitat, although some trusts work to protect historical properties or scenic areas. The Lake County Land Trust was formed to protect and preserve wetlands, wildlife habitats, forests, watersheds, riparian stream corridors, lakeside areas, and other properties with unique scenic, cultural, agricultural, educational, or historical value in Lake County, California. LCLT works only with willing sellers and has no power of eminent domain. We work cooperatively with landowners, private groups and governmental agencies. Funding for land acquisition comes from State and Federal sources as well as private corporations and donations.
The Lake County Land Trust currently consists of a seven member board of directors and sends out hundreds of newsletters on a quarterly basis. Donations to the Trust are tax-deductible and the LCLT provides a tax letter to all donors. The Lake County Land Trust accounts are reviewed every year by a qualified tax consultant.
Conservation Easements
Conservation easements have helped thousands of families protect millions of acres of open space. With a conservation easement, you can permanently protect your land without giving up ownership. The land is yours to continue to use, live on, and even sell or pass on to heirs.
The following three properties are managed by the Lake County Land Trust as Conservation Easements, but we'd love to add more:
Lyon Conservation Easement
Seigler Conservation Easement
Varni Conservation Easement
For more information about Land Trust managed Conservation Easements, please contact us at thomassmythe@lakecountylandtrust.org or 707.262.0707
What's more you can reduce future estate taxes-taxes that otherwise could rob your children of their legacy and result in the destruction of one more beautiful piece of land.
