Conservation
Protect your forest, working farm, waterways, and wildlife habitats through a conservation easement.
Through conservation easements, we protect working farms, forests, scenic and historic landscapes, rivers, vital wildlife habitats, and special areas that are protected for future generations.
Conservation Easement Focuses
What is a conservation easement?
A conservation easement is a legal agreement between the landowner and the land trust that permanently limits the uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. The landowner continues to own the land and can live on it, sell it or pass it on to heirs with the agreement remaining in place.
Conservation easements can be placed on various types and sizes of both private and public land. In most cases, the landowner is eligible for Federal income, estate, and property tax benefits.

nicks creek longleaf reserve
A Southern Conservation Trust Project
In December 2019, the Southern Conservation Trust, Inc. (SCT) was donated the 1,660 acres in Moore County, North Carolina that we call Nicks Creek Longleaf Reserve. Previously, the tract of land was slated for development into golf course, hotel/resort, residential and commercial uses. It is now a crown jewel private nature reserve that the SCT is proud to own and manage.
