Event Description

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County will present a workshop designed to get families talking and planning about the future – sometimes a difficult conversation. While the focus of this workshop will be on woodlands, the tools presented on are also applicable to farmland succession planning. All landowners are encouraged to attend.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Onondaga County in collaboration with Cornell University Department of Natural Resources and Finger Lakes Land Trust will host this workshop on November 14, 2014 with registration at 9:30 and the program from 10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 97 E. Genesee Street, Skaneateles.

This interactive presentation will be facilitated by Dr. Shorna Broussard Allred, Cornell University Cooperative Extension, who will provide effective tools that families can use to decide the future of their land. This workshop will share good ideas on how to get the discussion started and provide a host of excellent resources to help make the process of ownership transfer focused and smooth.

Elizabeth Newbold from the Finger Lakes Land Trust will discuss what a land trust does and land conservation options available to landowners. The Finger Lakes Land Trust is a member supported non-profit conservation organization that works cooperatively with landowners and local communities to permanently protect those lands that are vital to the character of the Finger Lakes Region. Additional information on FLLT may be found at www.fllt.org.

John Moss Hinchcliff is a partner in Miller Mayer’s Trusts and Estates practice group in Ithaca. He will discuss estate planning, tax implications and other financial and legal approaches to a successful long-term legacy plan. Mr. Hinchcliff and his family have personal experience with legacy planning and land conservation decisions on their own property in the Finger Lakes Region.

Cost is $25.00 per family, which includes workshop materials, lunch and snack.

Pre-registration is required and available on the CCE Onondaga web site: https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/LoveYourLand_231

Questions about the workshop may be directed to Kristina Ferrare, CCE Onondaga, email kaf226@cornell.edu or phone (315) 424-9485 ext. 231.
