  Land protection  
   
   
  Conservation easements and permanent protection  
   
 

How to best protect your land and care for it can be a web of legal language, agreements and lengthy management plans. There are organizations specifically set up to handle conservation easements and other ways to permanently protect land, such as the Red-tail Conservancy.
