The Land Conservation Law Program is strengthening the legal foundation of land conservation in Wisconsin. By cultivating attorneys versed in conservation law and equipping land trusts with practical tools, templates, and training, the Law Program helps ensure that the land protected today remains protected for generations.

Through workshops, model documents, and direct technical support, the Law Program reinforces the essential elements of strong conservation practice—sound easement drafting, effective governance, and lasting compliance. It serves as both a hub of professional education and a trusted source of guidance for Wisconsin’s conservation community.

The services provided by the Law Program are designed to supplement, not supplant, the valuable relationships that land trusts maintain with their own legal counsel. By offering accessible technical assistance and responsive legal guidance, the Law Program helps land trusts address emerging questions with confidence while continuing to rely on their existing professional networks.

Guided by an active Advisory Council, the Law Program blends practical support with long-term vision—building a community of legal practice that will sustain Wisconsin’s conservation movement for years to come.
