 Wislocki is on a waiting list for a conservation land tax credit. It gives private landowners up to $75,000 to cover some of what their land would be worth to developers and the cost of appraisals, surveys, and legal fees. At least 12 other states and Puerto Rico have some kind of tax credit to encourage land conservation. In Massachusetts, the program is capped at $2 million a year. When the money runs out, Wislocki gets bumped to the next year or the next.
