LandChoices is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization listed with Guidestar, the on-line standard for non-profit accountability:  Landowners need information  1. Up to 90% of landowners are not aware of any other options besides selling their land for development! LandChoices is one of the only groups focusing on educating landowners nationwide."The biggest problem land conservation faces in this country is that private landowners are not getting enough information." Boston tax attorney Stephen Small, the nation's leading authority on private land protection options Aging landowners "The principal private landowners in this country are older, 55 and older, even 65 years of age and older. Over the next fifteen to twenty years, millions and millions of acres of land will change hands, and potentially change use, as these older landowners plan for, or don't plan for, what's going to happen to their land." Boston tax attorney Stephen Small Outdated ordinances 2. Did you know that subdivision ordinances in most communities nationwide are outdated and require developers to build "cookie-cutter" style subdivisions? An innovative solution LandChoices is the only group educating communities and landowners nationwide on conservation subdivisons with our Supersize My BackyardTM campaign. "85% of the landowners in our country are seeking full equity out of their land and NEED to know about conservation subdivision design as an option, otherwise their land will destroyed by conventional subdivision development." LandChoices' member Edward McMahon, former vice president and director of land use planning at The Conservation Fund, and a senior resident fellow at the Urban Land Institute |
