SUMMARY:Promoting Peace of Mind - A conversation about heirs' property & succession planning
DESCRIPTION:McClendon Law & Consulting will cover the legal side of a farmer’s wellbeing\, estate and succession planning as well as heirs’ property.\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nMany farmers are: \n\nOverwhelmed with legal challenges that impact their farms\nFinding it difficult to maintain financial obligations\nFacing uncertainty due to the pandemic and natural disasters\nNot getting enough sleep\nOverworked and risking burnout to maintain their farm\nExperiencing health-related challenges\n\nThese are the people who work hard every day to ensure that we have food to put on our tables. If we as a society aren’t willing to commit to ensuring their mental and physical well-being\, then we’d better learn how to use a plow and a hoe and start growing our own food! \nMcClendon Law and Consulting’s role in this initiative\, made possible by a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture\, is to present workshops on a range of topics involving the legal side of a farmer’s wellbeing\, including estate and succession planning and addressing heirs’ property. We will also have the opportunity to provide some reduced-cost legal services to these critical members of our community. \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n

Thank you for your interest. \n  \nPurpose \nAs deer season comes to a close in January for parts of the Southeast\, many outdoor enthusiasts turn their attention to small game species. Small game provides a great opportunity to extend your time in the outdoors and is a great way to engage new and young hunters in an active and exciting pursuit for game. In addition\, many landowners and hunting clubs are interested in learning more about enhancing habitat for species such as quail and rabbit to make the most of their small game opportunities. This short course aims to provide technical information about the ecology\, habitat\, and strategies for hunting small game in the southeast\, including outdoor activities and small game habitat field tours. Plan to spend several hours outdoors navigating thick brush with hunting dogs and outdoor apparel (boots) is required. \nWho Will Benefit? \nWildlife biologists\, forestry professionals including consultants and managers\, loggers\, hunting clubs\, hunters\, and landowners interested in small game wildlife management. \nInstructors \nDr. James Johnson is an Outreach Program Assistant with the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. His research while at the Warnell School focused on developing a survey method for assessing white-tailed deer populations using trail cameras. James has spent most of his life on his family’s farm in North Georgia engaging in numerous land management activities and has been a member and advocate of the hunting community for over 20 years. \nDr. Gino D’Angelo is an Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Management at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. His research focuses on improving wildlife population management\, guiding science-driven management by state and federal agencies\, and enhancing knowledge of deer anatomy and physiology. Gino is also a third-generation rabbit hunter with decades of experience training\, breeding\, and hunting with beagles. \nDavid Osborn is the Research Coordinator for the Deer Lab in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. David oversees research at the Whitehall Deer Research Facility\, teaching students skills related to working with captive deer. In addition to his wealth of knowledge pertaining to white-tailed deer\, David has been pursuing small game across the Southeast with the use of hunting dogs for decades and is the author of Squirrel Dog Basics. \nCancellations \nIn the event that you need to cancel\, in order to receive a refund please contact Ingvar Elle (706-583-0566 or ingvar@uga.edu)  by February 02\, 2022. \n\nAgenda\nView The Agenda ➝ \n  \nRegistration \nThe last day for early registration is 02/02/2022 \n\nEarly Registration……………………………………………………………………($200.00)\nFor people not getting any credits………………………………………………($150.00)\nFor children 12 to 16 years old accompanied by parent……………………($50.00) \n\nAfter 02/02/2022\, Registration \n\nRegular Registration………………………………………………$250.00 \n  \n\n\nContinuing Education Credits\n\n7.5 Cat.1 Continuing Forestry Education hours  (approved) \n8.0 Cat B Continuing Logger Education (CLE) hours  (approved) \n\n\n  \n
