If you’ve thought about conserving your land’s special natural features,Landowner’ Options is your 52-page “toolbox” for permanent land protection. And it’s free!
The booklet—and its online version—is designed for Iowa’s landowners, their families and their legal and financial advisors.
The 6th edition of Landowner’s Options: Safeguarding Iowa's natural resources for the future was printed in April 2007. As with the previous five editions, this free booklet is written and published by the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation.
Its colorful format, user-friendly language and real-life examples help readers explore several methods of land protection: full donations, bargain sales, fair market sales, private conservation easements and many others. Additional topics include tax and financial issues, long-term land management, a glossary and contact information for potential conservation partners.
In addition to donating its own resources to this project, INHF received substantial grant support from the state's Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) Conservation Education Fund. Several conservation groups, law firms and education groups also contributed financial support.
To receive a free copy of Landowners Options sent by mail, send an e-mail to INHF requesting "The LOO book." Be sure to include your name and mailing address.
If you have questions about the book or would like confidential, no-obligation information about protecting your land’s natural resources, contact INHF’s staff at 515-288-1846.
