Kerr. Going Into Real Estate
Not in the traditional sense, I assure you.
I'm thinking of starting a for-profit (with
all profits going to conservation) firm that
specializes in linking "conservation
buyers" (people with excess money that
allows them to acquire lands of high conservation
value, perhaps live on or visit them
aperiodically, while donating most or all
interest in the land to the public through
conservation easements to land trusts or outright
gift or bargain sale to public agencies).
The real estate firm would make available
ecological assistance to restore lands (where
necessary) and tax advice on minimizing the cost
of buying such lands.
I don't foresee moving on this until at least
2010, when I'm 55 years old.
