The Stonington Land Trust seeks to preserve the town's natural resources including its farms, woodlands, water resources, marshlands, swamps, beaches, plant and animal life as well as the unique historic and scenic character of Stonington represented by our beautiful stone walls and other historic structures.

Through land donation, placing conservation restrictions on your property, or making a major financial gift to SLT, you can help ensure that more open space will be protected in perpetuity. Land donations, conservation restrictions, and financial gifts offer significant income and estate tax benefits.

Recent changes in Federal tax laws have increased both the maximum annual deduction for conservation restrictions as well as the number of years over which that deduction may be taken. SLT will work with property owners to help achieve their personal, income tax, and estate planning objectives.

Each year, the amount of open space and wildlife habitat dwindle. Please consider a donation of land or financial gift to SLT for land acquisition, reclamation, and protection. It is a way that you can make a difference here in Stonington.
