How PLC Protects
PLC’S Land Protection Roles
PLC serves many roles when permanently protecting land and water resources.
Project Facilitator
PLC acts as a “third party” often ensuring that necessary documentation is conducted prior to transfer of property or the purchase of development rights. However, PLC does not hold any legal interest in the property during the transaction.
Partner
PLC works with another party to ensure successful completion of a conservation project. PLC’s involvement as a partner can vary and may include holding or co-holding the long-term interest in the property with other partner(s). Although in some instances, the partnership develops after PLC’s initial protection; in all cases without PLC’s involvement the long-term protection would not have been achieved.
Interim Steward
PLC completes necessary project documentation and holds a defined interest in the property temporarily. PLC plays this role most often when time is of the essence and the intended long-term steward is a government agency.
Permanent Steward
PLC completes all necessary steps, holds a long-term interest in the land, either as holder of the conservation easement or owner of the property.
