We assist land owners in fulfilling their dreams for their land:

• To continue a family legacy, passing land to heirs

• To secure land ownership and management into the future, protect my land

• By placing voluntary conservation easements on the land, protecting my farm

• Utilize potential tax benefits for land dontations while protecting land and saving open spaces.

The Platte Land Trust is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to protecting natural resources, land, and open spaces.  

Through a variety of efforts, we work to protect wildlife, recreational, agricultural, scenic, and watershed lands.
