SCARBOROUGH — Those interested in conserving their property into the future and who want to ensure that wildlife and nature or certain uses, such as farming or forestry, won’t be lost to development may join Scott Kunkler, conservation director of Scarborough Land Trust, for a discussion about the different options available to create a legacy for that property. The program, titled “Conservation Options for Your Property’” will take place at the Scarborough Public Library on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.

“There are many options for landowners to conserve their land,” said Kunkler. “The key is knowing which ones will work best for their personal situation.”

Kunkler plans to discuss conservation tools such as fee purchase, conservation easements, bequests, and deed restrictions. Also considered will be navigating the tax consequences of these decisions as well as the importance of discussing these choices with family members and land professionals.

“We work very closely with private landowners helping them to realize that they have choices for the future of their property,” Scarborough Land Trust Executive Director Andrew Mackie said. “Together we can build a legacy for the people of Scarborough and future generations”.

The program is free and no registration is required.
