About This Webinar
All land trusts must accurately establish fee and conservation easement property boundaries in order to monitor and defend them. Conditions such as terrain, finances, neighboring landowners, historical property lines and more can make this a tough task to complete. Join Dan Hulst (Ventura Land Trust), Sarah Sigman (Shute, Mihaly & Weinberger, LLP) and Carl Silverstein (Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy) as they relay case studies and legal expertise to improve your organization’s property boundary identification and protection methods during this webinar.
Here’s a look at what we will cover:
The overall process and importance of establishing, monitoring and defending fee and conservation easement property boundaries.
Defining encroachment and adverse possession.
Making informed choices about legally sound and financially feasible methods to establish boundaries that follow Land Trust Standards and Practices.
Strategies to build or improve relationships with landowners in order to prevent or resolve boundary issues.
This webinar is included in the 2025 Webinar Pass.
