Private Transfer Fees, Deferred Payments, and Other Stewardship Funding Arrangements
Webinar
The administration and enforcement of conservation easements is costly — and perpetually so. Landowner contributions are a key strategy for funding a holder’s easement obligations; however, achieving both affordability to the landowner and sufficiency for the land trust in a one-time contribution can be challenging if not impossible. A range of legal tools are available to transform and energize this strategy by spreading stewardship funding commitments over time, or across future ownerships. For both donated and purchased easements, WeConservePA Legal Director Justin Hollinger will contextualize the funding challenge, review legal tools, identify communication strategies, and outline important legal and practical considerations. Erik Hetzel (Willistown Conservation Trust), Kristen Henwood (Natural Lands), and Sara Schlesinger (Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy) will reflect on the implementation of stewardship funding tools in their organizations’ respective service areas.
