Preserving land and river habitat for the future.
Pecos River Open Spaces is a 501 (c)3 organization that seeks to conserve, protect and place wild land into conservation easement.
Pecos River Open Spaces seeks land in Northern New Mexico to conserve, protect and place into conservation easement. We offer workshops, build habitat, work to re-establish plant and wildlife species and host river clean-up projects in our area. We support and enact conservation efforts to restore the riparian habitats of northern New Mexico. Our goal is to keep open spaces open, wild and alive for generations to come.
Conservations Easements
A conservation easement is a means to provide permanent protection from development for land having important natural values such os open space, animal habitat, biodiversity, or others, and to derive valuable tax benefits in the process. PROS works with the Santa Fe Conservation Trust on all of its easement properties.
• A conservation easement is a voluntary, permanent set of legal restrictions on land, to keep the land protected from development.
• The easement must be donated to a qualified tax-exempt conservation organization which will monitor and enforce the easement in perpetuity.
• The owner retains the full right to use and enjoy the land, and to sell it or convey it by gift or by will. but the owner and his or her ( or their) successors remain bound by the terms of the easement.
