The types of land that the Pee Dee Land Trust can accept

The Pee Dee Land Trust accepts conservation easements on property with significant natural, agricultural or historical values. This is a partial interest in the land that extinguishes most development potential; the management and ownership of the property, however, stays with the landowner.

and

The Pee Dee Land Trust accepts fee simple gifts of conservation property. The Land Trust can then protect the land with an easement and sell it to generate revenue, which protects the property and generates revenue for the organization to continue other land protection work.

The Pee Dee Land Trust accepts gifts of appreciated real estate that does not have significant natural values. These properties – residential, industrial, and commercial, developed and undeveloped – are called "trade lands" by many organizations.

Trade lands can be donated outright, by will, or through a retained life estate, depending upon the landowners’ goals. They can also be used to fund a charitable remainder trust.

If you donate “trade land” property, you can make an important and lasting contribution to the Pee Dee Land Trust’s protection program. A trade land is not protected for its conservation value. Instead, it is sold in order to generate the funds needed to protect targeted natural and historical areas.

Trade lands can be any kind of real estate. Examples include: houses, farms, apartment buildings, neighborhood lots or small parcels in the County, retail and office buildings.

A professional tax advisor or estate planner can fully explain the tax effects of any fee-simple gift. Such gifts have a different effect than gifts of conservation easements.

 

I looked online and saw a really cleverly-designed site that The Nature Conservancy has. It might be useful to experiment with:
