// Conserve Your Land
Thank you for considering conservation for your Georgian Bay property.
The Georgian Bay Land Trust has been protecting wild places through partnerships with landowners for 30+ years. If you own land within our operating area and are interested in conserving all or part of it, we would love to hear from you.
While each donation will be tailored specifically to you, we offer two main ways to protect your wilderness lands:
Land Donation
(ownership transfers to Georgian Bay Land Trust)
You may donate your property to the Georgian Bay Land Trust as an Ecological Land Gift. Significant tax benefits are offered to landowners who donate property for environmental conservation. You also ensure that valuable habitat is protected without the burden of ownership or taxes. Our qualified staff and stewards care for the habitats and wildlife on your donated land in perpetuity.
Conservation Easement Agreement
(you retain ownership)
A Conservation Easement Agreement is a contract between you and the Georgian Bay Land Trust. It allows you to designate all or a portion of your property to be protected as undeveloped wilderness.
You retain ownership and enjoyment of your land. In return for placing the agreement on your property, you receive a tax receipt. Our staff annually monitors your land to ensure ecological integrity.
