| The Big Sur Land Trust is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit located in Monterey, California that has played an instrumental role in preserving land in California's Big Sur and Central Coast regions. The trust was the first to conceive of and use the "conservation buyer" method in 1989 by partnering with government and developers to tax benefits as an inducement to sell land at below-market rates. As of 2016, it has protected around 40,000 acres (16,187 ha) through acquisition and resale to government agencies. It has conservation easements to another 17,000 acres (6,880 ha) and has retained ownership of a number of parcels totalling about 4,500 acres (1,821 ha). The trust was founded in 1978 by a small group of local Big Sur residents who were members of the Big Sur Citizens' Committee. Four of the residents visited the San Francisco offices of The Trust for Public Land in 1977 they learned about land-trust finance and management. They decided to an organization that could promote environmental protection in keeping with the Coast Master Plan and the California Coastal Commission. In February 1978 the community members incorporated The Big Sur Land Trust as a nonprofit California corporation. Their original aim was to protect Big Sur's natural beauty "from overdevelopment without recourse to government control while recognizing a property owners' right to sell to whomever they wish". The trust has partnered with many public and private agencies and organizations to protect land. | |
