KLT's Mission: The Kansas Land Trust is a nonprofit organization that protects and preserves lands of ecological, scenic, historic, agricultural, or recreational significance in Kansas
Private property owners who know and love their land can provide for its permanent stewardship in partnership with the Kansas Land Trust. Owners can preserve a single special feature on their land, define appropriate limitations on its development, or conserve an entire landscape. Landowners or not, all are welcome to be important Kansas Land Trust participants. KLT thrives on the energy, expertise, skills, and contacts provided by members and volunteers. Contributions help cover the expenses of educating property owners, carrying out land protection efforts, and raising public awareness of KLT's mission.
While all Kansans benefit from preservation of natural surroundings, participating landowners can benefit more directly. Landowners may significantly lower their income and estate taxes, and local taxes may also be affected. In addition, landowners gain assurance that their cherished lands will be watched over beyond their lifetimes-all property accepted for protection by KLT will be safeguarded in perpetuity.
