Leave A Legacy For Future Generations
Your donation is important!
- Support meaningful stewardship and restoration efforts.
- Help offset acquisition and stewardship costs.
- Our land program preserves rare, threatened, and endangered habitats.
- The lands we preserve provide outdoor learning opportunities for children.

Save The Dunes Conservation Fund accepts critical habitat land donations and Conservation Easements within the Lake Michigan Watershed.
Land donations:
- ensure your land is protected
- release you from the responsibility of land management
- can provide a substantial income tax deduction
Conservation Easements:
- retain ownership while giving up development rights - this can lower estate tax
- provide public benefit by permanently protecting conservation resources
In addition, new Conservation Easement tax incentives are available until the end of 2007.
