General Info

About Conservation Partners, LLC Founded by Taylor Cole and Jim McLaughlin in 2002 to help Virginians realize the benefits of land conservation, Conservation Partners provides comprehensive support services to conservation easement donors, conservation professionals, and purchasers of high-quality land preservation tax credits. Conservation Partners consults with landowners and their professional advisors throughout the complex process of donating conservation easements and preparing and registering high-quality land preservation tax credits. We have the personnel and resources to ensure the complex process of donating an easement does not overwhelm the donor. Buyers of land preservation tax credits are very aware of the differences in the risk associated with credits available in the market. Land preservation tax credits marketed by Conservation Partners are recognized for their quality and are preferred by risk-conscious buyers. Our Quality Standards and Assurances of Virginia Land Preservation Tax Credit Quality protect tax credit purchasers and give purchasers confidence that the donations they are supporting provide significant conservation benefits to Virginians. Since its founding, Conservation Partners has worked with easement donors who have protected approximately 54, 000 acres of farms, forests, and other open space land in Virginia. We are confident that our efforts to ease the process for donors, reduce transaction costs, mitigate buyers' risk, and ensure high-quality conservation will enable us to build upon our past success and continue to facilitate the protection of important conservation lands benefiting present and future generations of Virginians.
