Plain-English Summary
The proposal would let people and businesses reduce their federal income taxes if they donate land or money to protect scenic trails and conservation areas. This tax break would apply to donations that help preserve trails and natural spaces, giving donors a financial incentive to support conservation efforts. The change would mainly affect wealthy individuals and companies that make charitable donations and own land suitable for conservation.
