Do you love your farm or forest land? Have you come to recognize how special and important it is in our fast developing state? Have you thought about ensuring that some or all of it stays farm and/or forest land, permanently? If so, then this workshop is for you.

Protecting family lands is important. Unfortunately, however, it’s not always as simple a process as we might like. There are lots of ways to do it and lots of information to consider. There are tax relief and funding programs that you may or may not qualify for.

This workshop is designed to start you on the path to a land protection plan that works for you and your family. You’ll learn about people, programs and tools available to help you develop your plan. You’ll come away with a wealth of information and contacts, and a comprehensive set of informational materials that are yours to keep.

It’s your land, and only you have the right to decide what will one day happen to it. By investing one evening in this workshop, you can ensure that whatever decisions you make are informed ones, based not on guesses or rumors, but on facts and real knowledge of the subject.
