CANDIDATE AREAS: Many Pikes Peak area municipalities and both El Paso and Teller counties have identified lands worthy of preservation in their open space plans. Identification of open land as a candidate area does not necessarily mean it will be preserved. Many factors must first be considered: conservation values, need, public support, funding, availability, timing and usage are just a few.
OPEN SPACE CONSERVATION METHODS: There are a number of ways to preserve open space: fee simple purchase, donation, dedication, conservation easement, purchase/ transfer of development rights, lease with option to buy, leases and management agreements, purchase and leaseback, limited or joint venture development, options and rights-of-first refusal, undivided interests, remainder interests, conservation investors, exchange and installment sales.
