Addition of landowner registry and recognition—combined with direct advisory assistance for land and natural resource management—fit nicely with other land conservation strategies and can be especially valuable approaches as the “community conservation” dimensions of land trusts expand.
For most land trusts, landowner registry, and the assistance that comes with it, refine both community engagement and strategic communications activities.

Addition of this missing tool builds a strong foundation and outreach that can convince more landowners to feel comfortable entering into permanent property deed restrictions with conservation easements in the future. --Chuck Roe, President, SCP
