Tax Deductible Land Donation

Thank you for considering donating land to Healing Ecosystems. We are a 501c3 non profit seeking to establish land trusts in Western North Carolina to preserve and promote biodiversity. Our mission is to support ecological & communal health by empowering people to steward their bioregions. Your land donation supports this mission by allowing us land to take care of which also serves as a living classroom for our community.

Putting your property or part of your property into a trust ensures it will be taken care while also providing many tax benefits including lowering your property taxes and earning deductions and credits for state and federal taxes. This will also relieve the burden of individuals or families having to tend the land as it will become a collective effort through our non-profit.

Ideal Land Critera:

At least 5 acres

Within Madison, Yancey or Buncombe County

Includes mixed woodland, potential grassland and riparian area

Accessible parking for hosting events

Potential for a modest footprint of livable structures on the land

** The ideal land has invasive plants. Part of our mission is to steward land for native biodiversity and show ways of managing invasives with natural methods.
