Conservation Resource Partners, LLC

Conservation Resource Partners, LLC is an SEC‑registered adviser that provides investment management to pooled investment vehicles and separately managed accounts concentrated in timberland and agricultural assets. Its investor base is limited to qualified purchasers and includes high‑net‑worth investors, family offices, insurance companies and, notably among peers, pension and profit‑sharing plans (domestic and foreign).

The firm follows an active, conservation‑oriented, value‑added approach that combines bottom‑up property due diligence with top‑down market analysis to acquire, manage and dispose of working forests, farms and related ecosystem rights. Holdings are managed directly or via REIT structures, day‑to‑day operations are generally outsourced to third‑party property or farm managers, and compensation includes asset‑based management fees and performance‑based fees calculated on realized appreciation.

Distinctive aspects disclosed in the brochure include routine use of conservation structures—such as the sale of working conservation easements to conservation organizations—and the maintenance of an affiliated agricultural holding, Sherman Q Ranch, LLC, as a pre‑existing “test case” for agricultural operations prior to broader fund deployment. The firm typically sponsors closed‑end pooled vehicles (including REITs), provides audited financial reporting to investors, and generally requires investors to meet qualified purchaser standards with substantial minimum commitments.
