Announcing the Expand Your Base Forester Workshop:
Guiding the Conservation of Private Forests
Penn State Extension-Centre County and the Penn State School
of Forest Resources are pleased to be offering the 2nd annual Expand
Your Base Forester Workshop: Guiding the Conservation of Private Forests. The
workshop specifically targets foresters and other natural resource management
professionals who work with landowners. It will be held on Wednesday, May 7,
2014 from 8:45 AM - 3:30 PM at Celebration Hall, State College,
Pennsylvania.
This workshop will provide an overview of the issues
surrounding forestland conservation and describe some innovative land
protection tools, options, and approaches that will assist foresters and other
natural resource management professionals in beginning the discussion with
landowners on how to keep their forests working. Additional topics to be
covered include: legal strategies, conservation easements, and taxation of land
transfers.
Many resources are available that foresters can share with
landowners, clients, and woodland owner groups. Many of these resources and
tools will be shared during the workshop to assist foresters in beginning the
conversation. Learn how to work with landowners to prevent the loss of
forestland to development, subdivision, and conversion to other uses. The fate
of Pennsylvania’s forestland is in your hands and the hands of your woodland
owner clients.
