Land Acquisition

Since 1985, The Conservation Fund has worked closely with local, state and federal agencies as well as private landowners and land trusts to protect our nation’s outdoor heritage – our National Parks and Monuments, Wildlife Refuges and Recreation Areas. The Fund helps its public and private partners achieve their specific land conservation goals by providing risk capital, effective negotiation, legal skills and leverage of limited funding. This partner-driven approach enables us to act quickly and effectively to meet our partners' needs.

The Fund's services include: 
  
Acquisition Negotiation
The Fund’s experienced real estate staff effectively manages all stages of the transaction, from preliminary landowner contact through closing.
 
Pre-acquisition
The Fund can provide bridge financing for land acquisitions (fee and easement) when funding is not immediately available utilizing the Fund’s own risk capital.
 
Experience
As a private, non-membership third party, the Fund is uniquely positioned to work with private landowners to resolve potential conflicts and structure innovative transactions. 
  
Lowest Cost Provider
The Fund’s fees and overhead rates are the lowest of any national conservation organization.
