How the Trust Works
How the Trust Works
Lummi Island Heritage Trust protects significant features of the Island's rural landscape by:
Holding "conservation easements"-legal agreements between willing landowners and the Heritage Trust that protect the land's agricultural, wildlife, or scenic values.
Acquiring land by donation or purchase with donated funds.
Providing information about the potential tax benefits of conservation easements and other land conservation tools.
Ensuring long-term stewardship of land protected with conservation easements.
Managing lands owned by the Heritage Trust for the benefit of present and future generations.
