Abstract: This study develops a method to evaluate the influence of local geography on respondents' values for land conservation programs. The study employs a choice experiment to evaluate alternative conservation plans. Results indicate that residents' local landscapes do matter to the estimated values for such conservation programs. Our results also provide information about the divergence of political and economic jurisdictions for land conservation programs in Florida.
