Local groups will be joined by landowners who have already placed easements on their property to share firsthand insights into how conservation easements can keep agricultural, forest, and open lands in family ownership for generations, explain important financial, tax, and logistical considerations, and show how these tools help preserve our landscapes and support sustainable land stewardship across the Flathead, Swan, Mission, and Lincoln Valleys.
This event is presented by Flathead Land Trust, Montana Land Reliance, Flathead Lakers, and Vital Ground Foundation – organizations dedicated to conserving land, water, and wildlife across northwest Montana.
We invite you to be part of this important conversation about how conservation tools can help preserve our region’s landscapes and support sustainable land stewardship for generations to come.
