Heirs Property: Standing on a Lot of Love (Webinar)
2020-05-21 13:00 - 14:00 | www.forestrywebinars.net, United States
Family land ownership has always been a significant source of intergenerational wealth across the country. For land trusts protecting family owned land in their service areas has many conservation and related benefits. Still family property owned as heirs property i.e. with multiple owners outwardly presents obstacles for conservation. Through this session, participants will gain an understanding of the legal structure of heirs property, the values around this ownership model and opportunities for engagement with heirs property owners that support natural resource conservation and community. This engaging workshop will provide a cultural and historical context of why families own property as heirs property owners to protect natural resources on their land through best practices, conservation easements, and acquisitions. Participants will learn about asset mapping as a tool for community level support and engagement with heirs property owners.
Presenters will be Mavis Gragg, Director, Sustainable Forestry and African American Land Retention Project and Sam Cook, Executive Director of Forest Assets, North Carolina State University College of Natural Resources.

Forest Management From a Landowner’s Perspective
2020-09-09 13:00 - 14:00 | virtual via Zoom
Foresters often talk with landowners about the value of working with a professional in managing their land, but professionals frequently do not get candid feedback from their clients. What is the experience of taking care of a property and working with a forester, from the owner’s perspective?
Landowners Bet and Patrick Smith of rural northeastern Connecticut will share how they came to own and steward their woodland and will discuss their experiences and lessons learned from working with different private and public foresters. We will also be joined by Connecticut NRCS District Conservationist Bill Purcell, who has worked with the Smiths and many other landowners and is familiar with common issues that can arise.
This webinar presents an opportunity to hear from fellow landowners about ways to work effectively in partnership with foresters and allied professionals.
This event is free. Register here.
