The Virginia Forest Landowner Education Program (VFLEP) presents the two-day family forestland short-course "Preparing for Generation NEXT" meeting on Thursday, November 9, 2017 and Thursday, November 16, 2017 at Selu Conservancy. Please join us for a hands-on workshop with free legal guidance from professionals experienced in intergenerational land transfer and landowner testimonials of estate planning steps and strategies they have used. You value your forest and/or farmland for multiple reasons such as wildlife, privacy, recreation, timber, hunting or the scenic qualities. Are you prepared to pass the environmental and heirloom values rooted in your forest to the next generation? Without breaking it up? While there is a price to planning an orderly transfer of land to the next generation, there is also a cost of not planning that may put your land's future in jeopardy. If you don't have a plan, your wishes for your land and legacy will be lost. By researching and planning ahead of time, you can ensure your wishes are met and minimize the financial costs and emotional challenges while securing your woodland legacy for generations to come. Land may be your biggest asset. Make sure your actions support the family's values. This award winning and nationally recognized program will get you started on the right path. Speakers include legal and financial experts experienced in estate planning as well as natural resource professionals who work with landowners to conserve land and plan the future. Registration includes lunch, refreshments, interaction with professional CPA and Estate Planners both days. Admission is $70.00 for up to two people in the same family and $35.00 for each additional family member. The registration deadline is October 24, 2017. Apply online at: https://forestupdate.frec.vt.edu/onlineregistration.html and select the Generation NEXT Radford. This is a two-day program. Participation both days is strongly encouraged.
