DONATING LAND THROUGH CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
A conservation easement allows you to retain ownership of your property while ensuring the land will be preserved in perpetuity. This option is usually restricted to large parcels of pristine to mildly disturbed lands. Call us for a consultation on your property to see if it might qualify for an easement and possibly save you tax dollars while protecting the land.
MEMORIAL BENCHES
A new memorial and honor opportunity is now available at Wildflower Preserve.
LBC volunteers have constructed a new trail network trough the restored habitats at the preserve and the LBC board has approved a new bench design for memorial and honor benches to be placed along the trails and at scenic overlooks.
The 5-foot long benches are made by a local manufacturer with recycled plastic and stainless steel fittings. A stainless steel plaque will contain a message from the bench donor. As of early 2022, over 40 benches have been donated and placed. A few opportunities for bench placement remain.
Donors will have the opportunity to work with the LBC trail design team to plan the location for their bench within the preserve. The fee per bench will be $750.00. If you would like to place a memorial or honor bench, please call the office at 941-830-8922.
