| NWLT encourages and accepts conservation
easements on property with natural or scenic resource values. After a
voluntary land protection
agreement (conservation easement)
is granted, the land trust provides long-term stewardship of the protected land so the
resource values are preserved in accordance with the landowner's wishes.
NWLT
covers areas of Vilas, Oneida, Forest, Florence, Iron and Price Counties in
north central Wisconsin. This is the heart of Wisconsin's northwoods lake
country and includes one of the highest concentrations of inland freshwater
lakes in the world. This northwoods region, however, is also being
developed at one of the fastest rates in the state. The time is critical
to encourage private landowners interested in leaving a lasting legacy of
unspoiled land, forest, water and wildlife.
Now
more than ever, we need your participation to protect our beautiful northwoods.
