Contact DU: DU staff can walk you through the process to donate a conservation easement.
Property assessment: A regional biologist will schedule a site visit to evaluate the habitat and determine if it aligns with DU’s conservation mission.
Discuss terms: If the property is suitable, DU and the landowner together will outline the terms of the conservation easement.
Finalize details: Once terms are agreed upon, DU and the landowner will complete the necessary steps, including documentation including appraisals, title work and a property baseline report.
Seal the deal: After everything is in order, the conservation easement is signed and officially recorded.
