Community-driven conservation has a deep history in our region. From acequia associations who have proved vigilant stewards of the land and water for centuries, to ranchers who have chosen to restore their grasslands, much of our community has worked to preserve our landscapes and livelihoods for years.
The Taos Land Trust has worked in Taos since 1988 to implement another way to conserve land and water in perpetuity. Using conservation easements, which allow landowners to voluntarily forfeit development rights in order keep their land intact forever, Taos Land Trust has assisted in the protection of over 25,000 acres of land and associated water rights, in the face of unprecedented pressure on private landowners to develop their land and sell their water.
Taos Land Trust conserves open, productive, and natural lands for the benefit of the community and culture of northern New Mexico.
