The PA Land Trust Association is sponsoring a Standards & Practice Course on Managing Conservations Easements in Perpetuity in Valley Forge on September 6-7.

Have you ever had an easement violation - big or small? Have you ever received a request to amend an easement and weren’t sure of the right course of action? Unsure about how to decline a request without alienating the landowner? Have you been confronted with a new landowner who is unaware of or reluctant to abide by the terms of the easement?

Particpants in this workshop will learn how to:

· manage change more effectively so your conservation easements will be here tomorrow;

· draft an enforcement policy to protect what you have worked so hard to protect;

· understand the range of options available to address enforcement and amendment options;

· understand the roles of board, staff, volunteers and legal counsel; and

· understand the costs of enforcement.

The course will be held at the National Christian Conference Center in Valley Forge.
