OWL Outdoors Legacy Program
Preserve. Protect. Inspire.
At OWL Outdoors, we believe in the transformative power of land conservation. The Legacy Program provides a meaningful way to safeguard natural habitats, protect biodiversity, and create a lasting impact for future generations. Through land donations, conservation easements, and access agreements, you can ensure that the landscapes you cherish remain protected and accessible for environmental education and stewardship.
When you contribute through our Legacy Program, you become a guardian of nature—leaving behind a gift that echoes through time.
Legacy Giving & Estate Planning
Including OWL Outdoors in your estate plan ensures that your commitment to conservation lives on. You can designate land, financial gifts, or other assets through bequests, charitable remainder trusts, or donor-advised funds. We work closely with donors and their advisors to structure gifts that align with their vision while maximizing potential tax benefits.
WAYS TO GIVE
LAND DONATION
A Gift for Generations
Donating land to OWL Outdoors is a profound act of environmental stewardship. Whether given as a living donation or as part of an estate plan, your contribution ensures that forests, wetlands, and open spaces remain preserved for conservation and education. Your land will continue to serve as a sanctuary for wildlife and a place where people can connect with nature for years to come.
Benefits of Land Donation:
Ensures permanent conservation of natural spaces
May offer potential tax benefits and deductions
Creates a lasting legacy aligned with your values
CONSERVATION EASEMENT
A Pledge to Protect
A conservation easement is a voluntary, legally binding agreement that permanently limits certain types of development while allowing you to retain ownership of your land. This ensures that your property remains a thriving natural habitat while securing valuable tax incentives and preserving its ecological integrity for the future.
Why Choose a Conservation Easement?
Protects your land’s natural beauty and biodiversity
Offers potential tax advantages, including estate and property tax benefits
Allows you to maintain private ownership while ensuring conservation
ACCESS AGREEMENT
Sharing Nature’s Classroom
Through an access agreement, you can grant OWL Outdoors permission to use your land for educational programs, eco-tours, research, or community conservation projects. These agreements provide an opportunity to share the beauty of your property while promoting environmental education and stewardship.
How Access Agreements Benefit You:
Support conservation education and outdoor experiences
Retain ownership and control while allowing purposeful access
Foster a connection between people and the natural world
Your Gift, Your Legacy
Charitable giving through the OWL Outdoors Legacy Program is more than a donation—it’s a promise to protect the planet for generations to come.
