Landowners are making decisions on the future of land use in your town. As a member of your community’s Open Space Committee or Conservation Commission, do you have the tools you need to help them make decisions about conservation and management?

On Tuesday, April 21 at 6:30 pm, join us for a moderated panel discussion with land conservation professionals and landowners who have conserved their forestland at this online webinar via Zoom. This networking event, originally scheduled for March 16, has been turned virtual.

At this program, you will hear and learn tips from:

• Anne Capra, South Hadley Conservation Administrator/Planner
• Mark Wamsley, Conservation & Stewardship manager at Kestrel Land Trust
• Joel Russell, conservation lawyer and Kestrel Land Trust Board member
• Erica Cross, Belchertown Conservation Agent
• Mary Thayer, family forest landowner and APR landowner in the Pioneer Valley

This event is free and open to all and hosted by Kestrel Land Trust. Please fill out this brief registration survey so we can learn more about you ahead of this webinar and answer any questions you may have during the session. Registration is required.

Please register in advance for this webinar here!

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

This workshop is funded by the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Working Forests Initiative with support from UMass Extension Services and Mount Grace Land Trust.
