There is a unique tax deduction in the US called a “conservation easement.”It was designed by the IRS to encourage real estate owners to make pristine land, that could be enjoyed by the public, a conservation ground, and thus un-developable.In return, the landowner could treat the act of granting a “conservation easement” as tax-deductible.
