Conservation easements can play an important role in helping landowners achieve long-term goals for their woods, families, and communities. Consulting foresters assist landowners in implementing the management that helps achieve those goals.

Join representatives from the Vermont Woodlands Association, the Upper Valley Land Trust and the Vermont Land Trust for a webinar designed specifically for consulting foresters (though all are welcome to attend). Building on previous sessions focused on legacy planning fundamentals and communication strategies, this conversation will explore the role conservation easements can play in keeping forests as working lands while supporting ecological stewardship and long-term landowner goals.

This session will provide an overview of common conservation easement components, including ecological protections, forestry considerations, and the roles and responsibilities of landowners, consulting foresters, and land trusts throughout the process. The webinar will also create space for open dialogue about questions, concerns, and evolving practices around easements and working forest conservation.

Consulting foresters will have an opportunity to submit questions and feedback in advance through the registration process to help shape the conversation. 1 SAF CFE credit has been approved.
