The California land trust community protects and stewards land, maintaining forests, working farms, wilderness, or other
areas of conservation value. Landowners can permanently protect the conservation value of their land in several
ways such as selling land to land trusts below market value (bargain sale), they can also donate outright or bequeath
land to a land trust. Another option is to donate a conservation easement - a legal agreement that permanently
protects the land from harmful land uses while leaving it in private ownership.

Clearly, the motivation for a land conservation trans- action is often the desire of the landowner to safe- guard the property. However, this objective must be balanced with the need to maximize the return to
the landowner. The general perception is that the highest return will be realized from a sale to a developer.
