Forest Legacy Planning Workshops

MD Family Forest Legacy Planning workshops
The Alliance's Forests for the Bay program with support from MD Forest Service and partners have scheduled Family Forest Legacy Planning courses for this winter in Charles and Allegany Counties, Maryland.
Legacy planning can be an essential tool for landowners to pre-empt the challenges associated with the eventual transfer of the family woodlands or agricultural lands to the next generation. Legacy planning helps to facilitate dialogue between generations about keeping family lands and goals intact while working to minimize financial, legal and personal challenges that can be associated with estate transfer, inheritance and land management.
The goal of these Maryland Family Forest Legacy Planning courses is to provide an initial overview of estate planning and the specific tools, strategies and opportunities available in Maryland.
Scheduled Courses:
Saturday, February 7th - Charles County
The Crossing at Casey Jones, 417 East Charles Street, Laplata, MD
Registration info: www.forestryforthebay.org/files/FFLP_Charles.pdf
Saturday, February 28th - Allegany County
Cumberland Country Club, 10200 Country Club Road, Cumberland, MD
Registration info: www.forestryforthebay.org/files/FFL_Allegany.pdf
