land trust
Property preservation organization
A land trust is an organization that acquires and manages land for conservation, preservation, or community benefit.
Conservation land trusts protect natural areas, farmland, or open space from development: The land trust holds easements on over 10,000 acres.
Community land trusts own property and lease it affordably to residents, separating land ownership from building ownership to maintain long-term affordability.
