The Chatham County Center of North Carolina Cooperative Extension will offer a free workshop entitled Conserving Working Lands as part of its Enhancing Sustainability Series on Monday, September 14, 2015 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the Agriculture Building in Pittsboro (65 East Chatham St., Pittsboro, NC 27312). Workshop presenters include NC State University Forestry Specialists Dr. Mark Megalos and Dr. Susan Moore. The target audience for this workshop is farm and forest landowners.

The workshop will be an informal evening program discussing the conservation planning journey through the use of a land legacy handbook authored by Drs. Megalos and Moore. Landowners are driven to leave a land legacy, and every landowner can benefit from land conservation planning in the short and longer-term. A plan is essential. This handbook is designed to help landowners begin the journey to create a land conservation plan that works for them now and for the future. A streamlined walk through the plan process will be conducted with willing participants, and case studies of landowners will be featured. All attendees will receive a copy of Conserving Working Lands.

There is no cost to attend the workshop but pre-registration is requiredClick here to register on-line.
