Chatham Conservation Foundation, Inc.

One of the best ways to leave a lasting legacy is by preserving land. Donations to land trusts may qualify donors of land and/or conservation easements [also called conservation restrictions], for income, estate, or gift tax savings. 

 

The Cape Cod Compact of Conservation Trusts has created a number of informational resources to help landowners understand their options, consider the tax benefits, learn about conservation restrictions, and why now is the best time ever to preserve land:

​

• Landowner Options for Conservation

• Massachusetts Conservation Land Tax Credit Program

• Conservation Restrictions on Cape Cod

• Best Time Ever for Conservation Restrictions

​

Additional guidance from an attorney, tax advisor, and/or professionals familiar with these concepts is helpful and recommended. Please contact our Executive Director to learn more, at 508-945-4084.
