Landowners can cancel their listing whenever they want.
“It’s another way to add income to my bottom line, to help pay taxes,” says Alan Kenning, who lists his 520-acre farm in southern Nebraska. But beyond the financial return, he enjoys sharing the beauty of the farm, which includes prairie and wooded areas and access to a river. “When I came across the LandTrust site, I thought about the experiences I had as a kid growing up hunting and fishing and about the beauty of this place. I thought it would be nice to be able to share it with people and families.”
While the added income has been welcome, he has also enjoyed the visitors. “It’s not just ‘we’re here to take your money.’ I want people to come and have a good time and experience nature,” Alan says. “When you have people traveling from three or four states away, I never would have met them. It’s just that connection.”
As for working with LandTrust.com, he says, “It’s been a good deal. They walk you through the process and they simplify it. They take care of the liability, so I feel safe, and, as a landowner, I make all the decisions.”
Earning extra money while sharing the beauty and abundant wildlife of his land has been fulfilling. Alan says, “It’s experiencing nature is what’s cool. And for people in the city who’ve never done that, it’s awe-inspiring.”
