Creating Your To-Do List

You’ve joined the board of a land trust — wonderful! What’s next? In this webinar, you’ll take a look under the hood to learn what land trusts do, how they do it and how you fit in.

While each strategic land conservation plan will be unique, there are certain topics that should be included in all plans. Each of the suggested outline topics is accompanied by a general estimate (high, medium or low) of the intensity of resources (time or money) that the topic requires from the land trust. Items that the land trust has already created or can easily generate in-house are rated as low intensity.

Good landowner relationships are key to preventing violations, but what can land trusts do proactively to prevent violations and subsequent litigation? Join Mary Walsh and Jason Bulay as they discuss how to get ahead of violations and what to do if you should find yourself facing one.

Do you want to take your land trust to the next level of excellence? Assessing Your Organization is a series of assessment tools designed to complement the 2017 Standards.

This webinar covers when land trusts should consider using outside legal counsel, what experience they should look for in a candidate, and how they should work with selected outside counsel, as well as what expectations attorneys often have for their land trust clients.

Join long-time conservation attorney Karin Marchetti, Maine Coast Heritage Trust, as she lays out legal considerations for drafting amendment clauses and policies and what to do when faced with an amendment request to stay within the law and your conservation goals for the property.
