Description
How much will it cost your land trust to manage a conservation easement in perpetuity? Arriving at a realistic figure is tricky—but essential—if you are going to keep your promises. In this workshop you will learn the most accurate methods land trust use to for determining costs of their long-term stewardship obligations, including potential enforcement/defense costs. Using the most up-to-date numbers from the Land Trust Alliance, you will obtain the information you need to help ensure the land you protect today is safe tomorrow.
This course is based on the Land Trust Alliance course “Determining Stewardship Costs and Raising and Managing Dedicated Funds”
Audience:
Land trust staff, volunteers, and board members who are planning for the long-term financial support of their land trusts’ easement stewardship program.
