The Benefits of Conservation Planning: A Toolkit for the Tax Professional
(May 2010) As part of our effort to educate local communities on the vast benefits and opportunities associated with private land conservation, our Waccamaw River Blue Trail partners are hosting a series of workshops. The first of these workshops, “The Benefits of Conservation Planning: A Workshop for the Tax Professional” provided accountants, estate planners, and tax attorneys with information on conservation easements and planning. Presentations were made by the Pee Dee Land Trust, United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Turner Padgett, LLP a local law firm whose staff specializes in conservation planning. This toolkit was created as an outline of the discussion so that all may have access to the information offered.
