� Makes the carry-forward period for a donor to take tax deductions for a voluntary conservation agreement 5 years.

The Land Trust Alliance has a brochure that will help explain the tax benefits of a donated easement. Please click Tax Benefit Brochure for more information.

The Land Trust Alliance is working to expand the tax benefits and incentives. Please check their website frequently for the latest information on this topic. Go to www.lta.org/policy/tax-policy.
