I JUST DONATED A LARGE EASEMENT TO THE LAND TRUST. HOW CAN THEY NOW SUGGEST THAT I ALSO MAKE A FINANCIAL DONATION TO THE STEWARDSHIP FUND?
You have given a responsibility to the land trust: To watch over your land and make sure it is protected, even after you’re gone. The land trust partners with you to achieve your goal of preserving the property, but there is a cost associated with doing the work. That’s why a donation of an easement and a stewardship plan go hand in hand.
