IT'S TIME FOR THE 50 MILE FEAST!

Our second annual 50-Mile Feast will take place on Saturday, August 24, 2013, at 5 pm. Chino Valley Farms in Chino Valley, Arizona, will once again host an elegant, sumptuous dinner of food and beverages, all grown and processed within a 50-mile radius of the farm. Laura Chamberlain, co-founder of Brix in Flagstaff, will serve as the head chef.

For reservations, please call 928-445-7790 or visit our 50 Mile Feast web page for more info.

Congress recently extended, through 2013, a Federal tax incentive for conservation easement donations that has helped thousands of landowners conserve their land. Please read the Land Trust Alliance Enhanced Easement Incentive Renewed Through 2013 brochure to learn more.

Accredited land trusts are granted the ability to use the accreditation seal. The seal gives the land trust public recognition that it is carrying out the practices from Land Trust Standards and Practices that indicate it is operating in an ethical, legal and technically sound manner. This recognition gives the land trust enhanced credibility and respect from donors, partners, members and the public. In addition, the preparation and application process affords applicants the opportunity to review and implement policies that will help streamline their operations and lead to more effective land conservation.

CALT will have a booth at an event designed to highlight the many outdoor and water-based recreational opportunities, organizations, retailers, equipment, and resources in the Prescott area.

WASHINGTON — The Senate approved a sweeping new farm bill on Monday that will cost nearly $955 billion over the next 10 years, the first step in a renewed attempt at passing legislation that will set the country’s food and agriculture programs and policy.
