February 2042) promotes wildlife conservation, timber harvesting, and habitat
management. It limits development but offers cost-share assistance for conservation
practices. Learn more about HFRP here.

Association, this tract is well-positioned for future use. Upon expiration of the easement in
2042, the land could be subdivided into smaller parcels for residential or rural
development. Its size and location also make it a smart choice for a 1031 Exchange or long
term hold strategy.
