Welcome to the
website of the Land Trust Network of Jefferson County, Wisconsin.
The Land Trust Network of
Jefferson County (LTN) is a 501c3 tax exempt non-profit land
conservation organization that can legally acquire land and
conservation easements. These lands are then held in the public trust
and are protected in perpetuity.
The Land
Trust NETWORK focuses on the protection
of:
- natural
and wildlife areas
- agricultural
lands and woodlands
- recreational
areas
- waterways
and wetlands
- scenic,
historical, and archaeological
sites
- regardless
of the land's location,
size, or topography
To date members of the Land
Trust Network have participated in 25 land preservation projects in
southern Wisconsin by providing funds or matching conservation easement
value.
The Land Trust Network holds
17 conservation easements in 6 Wisconsin counties (Jefferson, Rock,
Dodge, Ozaukee, Monroe, Fond du Lac) which has resulted in the
permanent protection of over 2,100 acres of Wisconsin’s
natural
resources.
The Land Trust Network can accept the donation of land or conservation
easements, and can purchase land and conservation easements, anywhere
in Wisconsin. LTN's ability to acquire land and conservation easements
through purchase or donation has enabled the LTN to protect these lands
for the benefit of future generations. LTN members continually monitor
these lands and easements.
We thank you for your
interest in the Land Trust Network of Jefferson County and please visit
