Some properties require land management duties that involve significant staff time and related costs—like this controlled prairie burn at Snyder Heritage Farm. Donors wishing INHF to assume these sorts of long-term management responsibilities for natural resources should include an endowment or additional land with income-producing potential to provide for its care.

It’s never too early to plan your land’s future. Transferring your farm is a very important decision. It deserves time, thought, family communications and consultations with professionals.

The Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, with our 27-year history of protecting Iowa land, is one of those professional resources. Ask us for a free personal consultation. For written information, request The Landowner’s Options, our free, 44-page booklet on legal and financial alternatives in conservation land transfers. Most of this information is also online at www.inhf.org.

To request information or a no-obligation discussion with INHF staff, please call us at 800-475-1846 and ask for Cheri Grauer.
