INHF has worked with private landowners for almost four decades to bring conservation to over 1,100 places statewide.

To help you achieve your land protection goals, INHF can:

  • Listen. We start each project with a confidential conversation to determine what’s best for the land and your protection priorities. We can help you navigate the many options available for Iowa landowners and choose the best course of action. These conversations are free of cost or obligation to the landowner.
  • Refer. We work hard to find the right fit for Iowa landowners. That often includes INHF, but not always. We’ve introduced many landowners to conservation agencies and organizations that best fit their vision and needs.
  • Navigate. Whether you choose a donation or a bequest, a conservation easement, a bargain sale or any number of other options, we can help you navigate all the steps you’ll need to take.
  • Protect. If you choose INHF to hold your conservation easement or own your land in the future, we look forward to building a lasting partnership with you and your land. Our staff and board work hard to ensure that INHF has the capacity to live up to our permanent responsibilities.

Looking to start the protection process, or learn more about your options? Contact Abby Hade Terpstra, director of philanthropy, at aterpstra@inhf.org or 515-288-1846.
