Forest Stewardship Coached Planning
Vashon Island
Tuesday evenings, January 13th - March 3rd, 2009
7:00 - 9:30 pm
The Forest Stewardship Coached Planning Program is an excellent learning opportunity for forest landowners, whether you have 3, 30, or 300 acres of trees. This 30-hour course emphasizes practical stewardship of forest resources. With guidance and one-on-one assistance, you will develop your own forest management plan based on your family's goals and the characteristics of your property. An approved plan may be used to qualify for tax incentive programs administered by King County.
Course fee is $100 per family and includes all materials, maps, and a site visit.
This course is co-sponsored by the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust. If you are not a Land Trust member, join now and a portion of the course fee will be applied to your membership!

Conservation Options for Family Forest Landowners
WSU Extension Office, Renton
Thursday, January 15th
6:30 - 8:30 pm
Most woodland owners ultimately want to preserve their forest land for future generations. However, as land values escalate, it is often difficult to shoulder the financial burden of retaining undeveloped land. What steps can landowners take to ensure that their forested property continues to provide environmental and societal benefits, while alleviating the financial strain on the private owner?
The purpose of this workshop is to explore voluntary conservation tools that landowners can use to permanently protect their forest land, while allowing active forest management and reducing landowner tax liability. Topics will include conservation easements, transfer of development rights, and open space tax incentive programs.
This session is free and open to the public but seating is limited. To reserve your space, contact Amy Grotta by email or at (206) 205-3132. Download a flyer for more information.
