Hill Country groups talk land easements next month

In October, the Hill Country Land Trust and Hill Country Alliance will hold a conservation easement workshop. According to a press release about the event, the workshop will help landowners learn about “how to steward and protect their land investment with a conservation easement agreement.” The agenda will include the following topics: conservation easement overview; planning with conservation easements; tax, succession and estate planning issues and ideas; the role of land trusts in the conservation easement process; landowner considerations and costs; and stories from landowners who have a conservation easement. The workshop will be held Friday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Pedernales Electric Cooperative Headquarters Auditorium. Registration, available online here, is $15.
