These workshops will cover the use of conservation easements
as well as tax incentives, programs, laws, regulations, and assistance
that provide opportunities for agencies, non-profit organizations, landowners
and others to preserve land.
They are intended to fill the general education needs of landowners,
cooperative extension personnel, federal and state agency officials,
and employees of nonprofit organizations who are interested or are working
in the area of land preservation/conservation.
These workshops are also designed to advance the skills and knowledge
base of appraisers, attorneys, foresters, and other professionals that
provide consulting, management, legal, valuation, or other services
of interest to landowners. The objective is to provide these professionals
with the ability to explain and assist landowners with initiating and/or
maintaining various land preservation options. Additionally, professionals
will be able to use nonprofit and governmental resources that are available
to support them as they provide services to landowners.
