What do we mean by landowner incentives, conservation markets, and stewardship tools?
It’s useful to think of three broad categories, while recognizing that they can overlap. • Landowner Incentive Programs offer awards or services that support conservation actions by individual landowners. • Conservation Markets encourage the production and sale of conservation products from private lands. • Stewardship Tools include land sale or exchange, conservation easements, and transfer or purchase of development rights.
