Protect Your Land
Captina Conservancy engages primarily in the conservation of natural areas, forest lands, riparian corridors and farmlands within, but not limited to, those sections of Belmont County and Monroe County, Ohio, containing the watersheds of Captina Creek and its tributaries as well as Guernsey, Noble, Harrison, and Jefferson counties.
In addition to education, our work includes offering voluntary conservation agreements (i.e., conservation easements) with private property owners and through donations and fee-simple acquisitions of property from willing owners.

CARE FOR YOUR LAND
|
Landowners can establish legal deed restrictions to protect the agricultural and conservation values existing on their properties for generations to come. Captina Conservancy can oversee and insure that those protections remain in place and are observed, regardless of future ownership.
The Conservancy can also own properties, protecting them from development and promoting them as long term natural preserves. |
