Bainbridge Island Land Trust  
 
Bainbridge Island Land Trust offers an opportunity for landowners to protect and preserve the special character of their land for now and for future generations. There are several ways this can be done, some of which allow the landowner to continue to own and use the land. Many of these techniques may also provide tax benefits, which may include reductions in federal income taxes, federal estate taxes, and local property taxes.
