Conservation decisions are personal. Each has its own unique circumstances. You may want to protect the land while passing it on to the next generation. Others may want to ensure their property's unique circumstance, to protect privacy, or sort out vacation usage by an extended family.
Conservation takes many forms: protecting shorelines and spawning areas for fish and fishing, protecting a vista or a view of a prominent place, preserving the character of historic buildings, cottages and boathouses, or finding creative solutions for development that avoids destroying the natural and cultural features that attract people to our area. Conservation planning is a mix of land use with your financial, tax and other plans.
