Bridging real estate and conservation

The Conservation Land Network's mission is to protect ecologically significant Priority Properties on the real estate market. Our innovative non-profit partnership of real estate brokers, land trusts, conservation groups and scientists work collaboratively to identify and prioritize top tier conservation properties, and to match them with conservation-minded buyers. The aim is to preserve the ecological integrity of Southwest Montana and to foster responsible land stewardship.

The Conservation Land Network bridges real estate and conservation with:

• Priority Property status for the most ecologically significant properties for sale in our region
• Scientific third-party identification of top-tier conservation properties
• Buyer referrals to conservation real estate brokers
• Information on conservation and stewardship tools
• Contacts to land trusts, land management and restoration experts who can help new owners protect their land.

The Conservation Land Network highlights Priority Properties for sale in the Greater Yellowstone region of southwest Montana.

"The Conservation Land Network has created a unique tool that links science with market forces. I know of no other effort that evaluates the ecological value of properties on the market... This is the most innovative, timely application for scientific studies I have seen."
