LANDOWNERS
Fee Simple
Some landowners prefer to sell or donate their land for long-term conservation use. In those cases, the landowner negotiates a sales price with the land trust or conservation organization. This is referred to as a fee simple acquisition.
This approach is most often used when a landowner decides they do not want to own the property and they prefer it to be protected. Commonly, properties that adjoin state parks, wildlife management areas, national wildlife refuges or other publicly held land are great options for this type of acquisition.
However not all land trusts purchase property in this way. If you desire to sell your property as part of a fee-simple acquisition, you must find a land trust which employs this method.
“The Land Trust Network is a cohesive, knowledgeable voice on land protection issues, opportunities and mechanics. It plays a major role in shaping conservation policies that protect our natural resources and enhance our quality of life in South Carolina.”
