UPCOMING EVENTS
2012 RANCHING IN THE FUTURE WORKSHOPS
With the tremendous success of Ranching in the Future workshops throughout Yavapai County in 2009 and 2010, the Central Arizona Land Trust (CALT) plans to build on that success with a series of new landowner protection workshops in late winter 2012 and summer of 2012 geared toward private agricultural landowners, municipalities, and county governments located within Yavapai County. CALT will present Yavapai Agricultural Lands Preservation – Phase III Educational Workshops. Phase III has a three-fold objective:
1) to continue outreach to individual agricultural landowners in Yavapai County regarding the multiple benefits of conservation easements to preserve and protect family lands.
2) to inform agricultural landowners of new conservation tools and benefits such as changes in county zoning and water policy, as well as strategies for greater efficiency in their agricultural operations.
3) to provide education for elected officials and government personnel in municipalities on the benefits of open space protection through the use of conservation easements and other land protection tools.
CALT enjoys a strong collaborative relationship with the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, Yavapai County. This partnership provides CALT with enhanced connection to the agricultural community, and has greatly facilitated marketing of Ranching in the Future workshops and outreach to land owners. The Cooperative Extension will be a co-sponsor of the Phase III Agricultural Land Preservation workshops. Please join us. We hope to see you there!
