- Assistance Directory for Private Forest Landowners (USA)
-
Are you a forest landowner looking for voluntary, long-range conservation planning assistance tailored to your goals and the capacity of your land?
One of the most highly rated sources of such assistance across the country is the Forest Stewardship Program. You will be provided with advice not only on the trees, but also on the forest’s other plants and flowers, the wildlife, the soil, the water, and the aesthetic value. The advice can also include information on habitat projects, timber sales, and tree planting.

- CARE Act 2003 New Tax Incentives for Conservation
-
April 9, 2003, Washington, DC - The U.S. Senate passed conservation tax incentives today as part of a bill to aid charities. The CARE bill (S 476) includes four such incentives – one for landowners who donate conservation easements on their lands, one for landowners who sell their land to a conservation organization, one allowing nonprofits to use tax-exempt bonds for conservation of forests, and one exempting conservation grants from the U.S. Department of Interior’s Partners in Wildlife Program from taxation. The bill will need to be approved by the House of Representatives before it becomes law.

- Conservation Options for Private Landowners in Florida
-
Florida is one of the fastest growing states and included 11 of the 100 fastest growing counties in the United States during 2003. Consequently, natural and agricultural lands are in high demand as the pressure to convert these areas to residential and/or commercial uses continues to increase. There are many compelling reasons, however, to conserve natural and agricultural lands in Florida. These include issues related to quality of life, traditional rural lifestyles, aesthetic values, significant economic contributions to the state, and even national food supply. Private lands also play a crucial role in the conservation of wildlife populations in Florida.
