About This Webinar
Our “Closing the Deal with Rural Landowners” workshops help land trusts, conservation districts and other partners be more successful in working with landowners on voluntary conservation. Here are some of the materials and results that we developed with Water Words That Work, who were our consultants on this project:
Survey results from 45 mentors identified by their peers as “tops in the field” at outreach, on what makes them so successful and how landowners perceive the benefits and barriers of voluntary conservation options.
Results from focus groups on two topics: customer service and working with plain sect landowners.
A webinar presenting the results from this research.
A document with links to all the resources (e.g., materials, slides, etc.) used in the Fall 2018 workshops.
