The Golden State Land Conservancy (GSLC) is a “landowner-friendly©” land trust.
GSLC’s mission is to promote and secure land conservation by developing flexible relationships with landowners to achieve conservation objectives. In other words, we
balance the needs and desires of the landowner with the legal requirements of a
conservation easement.
“Landowner-friendly©” is GSLC's distinctive philosophy of approaching conservation
pragmatically. Our focus is on the landowner’s vision for their propertyto work with
them to bring about the best, most cost-effective and sustainable conservation outcomes.
GSLC espouses no ideological agenda. We simply wish to help landowners conserve their property for the future, by meeting regulatory and professional requirements in a common sense, practical way. Our “landowner-friendly“ philosophy has resonated with
many satisfied landowners. Currently, GSLC holds conservation easements on more
than
34,000 acres throughout California.
Many of GSLC’s conservation easements are donated by the landowner, which typically
provides them an income tax savings. GSLC has several landowners and their representatives who are available as references.
