Conserving Wildlife Habitat

Conserving Millions of Acres of Wildlife Habitat

CSF and the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus are working diligently to make the conservation tax incentive permanent.

H.R. 1831, the Conservation Easement Incentive Act, introduced by former CSC House Co-Chair Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and and co-sponsored by 268 other House members including the House CSC leadership, along with companion bill S. 812 introduced by Sen. Baucus and co-sponsored by the entire CSC Senate leadership, would continue to allow modest-income landowners to receive signifi cant tax deductions for donating conservation easements, which would aid in the protection of millions of acres of the nation’s agricultural lands and open spaces.
