So, you are interested in conserving your property...

We are glad that you are looking at the possibility of conserving your property.  It is the generosity and conviction of landowners like you that helps retain the agricultural heritage, important habitats and beautiful open space that makes Mesa County so unique.  There are a number of options available to landowners who are interested in protecting and conserving land.  These pages contain information on the variety of programs available, a brief outline of steps required placing a property under a conservation easement, information on the tax incentives for conservation and some information on what happens after you have placed a conservation easement on your property.  The links to this information appear in the green box at the top of this page.  After reviewing these pages, feel free to get in touch with a staff member at Mesa Land Trust for more information.  We will be happy to discuss conservation easements with you and answer any questions you might have.  You can reach us at 970-263-5443 or by e-mailing us at info (at) mesalandtrust (dot) org.
