How to help

Four ways in.

Some people give money. Some give a Saturday. Some give the development rights to the ground their family has held for a century. All of it counts.

For landowners

Conserve your property

Retire the development rights on your ground and keep everything else — the title, the grazing, the timber, the right to sell it or pass it on. Start with a conversation and no obligation.

For donors

Give

A one-time gift, or a little every month. Gifts pay for the survey work, the legal drafting and the annual monitoring — the unglamorous parts that make an easement hold up.

For neighbours

Volunteer

Walk boundaries, pull weeds, mend fence, staff an event, or help with the annual monitoring visits. No experience needed and the country is good.

For businesses

Business sponsorship

If your business depends on people wanting to be here, the view is your inventory. Sponsorship puts your name behind keeping it.

Other ways to give

Not every gift is a cheque

Monthly giving

A steady amount every month is the easiest money for us to plan stewardship around.

Give monthly

Gifts of stock

Donating appreciated securities directly can be more efficient than selling first.

How it works

Planned gifts

Name PLT in your estate and protect ground past your own lifetime — which is rather the point.

Leave a legacy

PLT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed. We are not your tax adviser — talk to yours.

Give

Protect the next thousand acres.

Every gift funds the survey, the legal work and the annual monitoring that keep a promise enforceable a century from now.
