For landowners interested in pursuing conservation:

Learn More About Your Conservation Options

Land conservation is always a voluntary decision by a landowner who wishes - for whatever reason - to permanently protect their land. Our staff are always happy to discuss conservation options and all inquires are confidential; contact us using the Land Conservation Inquiry Form below, or by phone at (603) 463-9400.



The Conserving Your Land  booklet published by the NH Land Trust Coalition and the UNH Cooperative Extension is an excellent resource for those looking to learn about conservation options in more detail. Download the PDF or visit our office and pick up a physical copy.

​The Land Trust Alliance also provides information for landowners seeking to learn more about conservation easements or other land protection options.

Our local land trust partners - SELT, the Forest Society, and Moose Mountains Regional Greenways - are always excellent sources of information.

You can learn more about what has motivated other landowners to conserve their land with Bear-Paw on our Why Conserve? page. For more information on the ins and outs of conservation easements, visit our Conservation FAQs page.
