The Agricultural Conservation Easement Program is perhaps "the most critical tool that we have to stop the fragmentation and development of working lands."
In the midst of Land Trust Alliance Advocacy Days this week, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig testified before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. Among the topics discussed was the abuse of the charitable conservation deduction.
The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act is one of the Land Trust Alliance’s top priorities. It addresses an urgent problem for our community. And the newly introduced version in the U.S. House of Representatives is worthy of your support.

I'm excited — and you should be, too! The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly yesterdat to permanently reauthorize the expired Land and Water Conservation Fund.
On behalf of the Land Trust Alliance and our 1,000 members, I'm pleased to applaud the U.S. Senate's early reintroduction of the Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act.
