Family Heritage
|
Many forests are multi-generational, which makes it important to communicate with family members. Don't just assume they already understanding your plans, vision or intentions for your property. Passing on your intentions helps ensure that your hard work won't be in vain and can proactively resolve potential conflicts when your land passes to the next generation.
"Our goals are simple. We want to keep this land together. Keep it forest land. To keep it productive. To keep it in the family." -Claire McAdams, Landowner, Humboldt County |
