Protecting Your Land for Future Generations
Join us for part of our Land Smart Series. This is an informative workshop designed for landowners interested in conserving their land while planning for the future. Participants will:
- Understand how conservation easements work and learn the steps to get started from the local land trust, Green Space Alliance of South Texas.
- Hear from Ms. Metha Haggard, a landowner in the Medina River Watershed, about why she chose conservation easements to protect the property and legacy.
- Learn valuable estate planning strategies from estate lawyer, Jeremiah Leibowitz.
- Explore funding opportunities and financial resources available to landowners.
Whether you are just beginning to consider land conservation or are ready to take the next step, this workshop will provide practical information, real-world experiences, and connections to trusted resources.
- We look forward to meeting you and helping you be Land Smart!
