interested in
accepting donations of land that it can resell and use the proceeds

DLC is widely recognized on a national, state and regional basis for
creating customized land protection plans which ensure that each
property’s special scenic, rural and natural features remain intact.
This type of planning provides a public benefit while meeting the needs
of the landowner. The most popular and widely used tool for protecting
private lands is the Conservation Easement. Thanks to the foresight,
care and generosity of local landowners, together we have protected over
30,000 important acres. For more information on conservation easements
and for a map of protected land in Dutchess County, please

Conservation Land Planning is the process of identifying ecologically
sensitive attributes of the landscape, as well as opportunities for
well-sited development. Learn more about conservation land planning
