Potential Tax Deduction for Contributing Towards Restoration
Landowners who own or are clearing property for home building sites or development may be able to donate large woody debris (LWD) or native plants to nonprofit agencies for salmon enhancement projects. LWD required for these projects are difficult to find and are valued between $350 - $800 per piece depending on size. Instead of a landowner having to pay for the disposal of LWD, they may be able to receive a tax write off. Landowners must donate the materials to a registered nonprofit and have a valuation of the materials. Check the IRS publications 526 (Charitable Contributions), 561 (determining the value of donated property), and Form 8283 non cash charitable contributions (and consult an accountant). http://www.irs.gov/
