Direct acquisition works best when a landowner does not wish to continue to own the property but wants to protect sensitive resources, wildlife species, and habitats, and a wide variety of public uses are desired. In these cases, the Conservancy directly acquires land from willing landowners and manages these properties for the public benefit. Fee title acquisition works well when the Conservancy wants to ensure public access to a particular property or we believe it is vital to have control over how the property will be managed, for example, protecting unique wildlife habitat or preserving a Native American cultural site.
