Their Land, Their Legacy Workshop

• Friday, October 19, 2018, 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM

A Workshop on Legacy Planning to Keep Forests as Forests

Few challenges faced by landowners are more important than the issue of passing their land and its responsibilities on to the next generation. Many landowners want to conserve their woods but don’t know about conservation options and how to involve family members in the future ownership and operation of their lands. On Friday, October 19, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County will be hosting Their Land, Their Legacy: A Workshop on Legacy Planning to Keep Forests as Forests at the NYS Fairgrounds, Art and Home Center, Somerset Room. Dr. Shorna Allred, Associate Professor, at Cornell University, will help participants by connecting them with Legacy Outreach Resources to help landowners consider the future of their forests. 

There are a number of ways that you can help landowners. As foresters, loggers, and professionals, you may talk to your clients about the importance of planning for the future of their land to ensure that their stewardship activities reach their full potential. As a conservation organization, you may be interested in hosting an outreach event that encourages landowners to learn about their conservation-based estate planning options. Whatever your role, you have an opportunity to inform these decisions. In this workshop, participants will learn about landowner decision options relating to the future of their land and to better inform them with effective and award-winning outreach resources. In addition, participants can develop and deliver their own effective conservation-based estate planning programs, applicable to the northeast region, using our publications: Your Land, Your Legacy and Their Land, Their Legacy. yourlegacyny.org.  

The workshop will run 9am-3:30pm and the cost is $10/person with lunch included. Registration deadline is October 16. Register on-line at https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/TLTL2018_231.
