Cornell University Cooperative Extension will present a two-part succession planning workshop Sept. 17 and Oct. 22 in Rensselaer County.
Few challenges faced by family forestland owners, farmers, ranchers, and other land-based family businesses are more important than the issue of passing the land and its responsibilities on to the next generation. Many small landowners want to preserve their family lands but don’t know how to involve family members in ownership and operation of their land.
Ties to the Land: Planning for the Future of Your Woodlands will be facilitated by Dr. Shorna Broussard Allred of Cornell University Cooperative Extension and will provide effective tools families can use to decide the future of their land.
With presentations by two leading experts, practical exercises, and expert panel discussions, the workshop will coach families to develop techniques and communications skills they need to address the tough issues.
Multiple family members and generations are encouraged to attend. Each family will receive a copy of the Ties to the Land workbook & companion DVD.
The workshop is $40 per person ($10 per each additional family member). Participants must attend both of the sessions.
The workshop will be held at the Petersburgh Veteran’s Memorial Community Center, 71 Main St. in Petersburgh.
