About This Webinar
This 2019 webinar is available free for Land Trust Alliance members.
We all know that the good landowner relationships are key to preventing violations, but what can land trusts do proactively to prevent violations and subsequent litigation? What are the risks land trusts should be aware of and how can they be addressed? Join Mary Walsh of Westchester Land Trust and Jason Bulay of Blue Mountain Land Trust as they discuss how to get ahead of violations and what to do if you should find yourself facing one. Lorri Barrett, Land Trust Alliance Conservation Defense Specialist, will also be on hand to discuss what we have learned from six years of Terrafirma claims.
