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

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.

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.

SUMMARY:The intensive pine plantation investment - From Planning to Execution to Harvest
DESCRIPTION:What this Course is about\nThe pine plantation is the primary forest investment vehicle used in the Southeast US. The genetic revolution of the last 15 years has more fully empowered the investor to reach increased yields of improved quality saw timber\, poles\, grade and other needed and valuable forest products. Changes in genetic options have led to the creation of new deployment planting schemes that continue to evolve. Foundational to the forest investment is the understanding of how regional soils\, changing climates\, and a range of existing pests impact best management practices and subsequent returns. This course provides an in-depth overview of the integrated pine plantation investment from planning to harvest\, bringing in the most advanced and current understandings available as taught from two professionals with deep practical operational experience in planning\, land investment\, operational establishment and timber management\, tree breeding\, and applied research. \nWho Should Attend\nAnyone who invests in southern timberland and utilizes pine plantations to increase returns. Anyone who makes their living off of this investment vehicle: Forest planners and modelers\, forest managers\, procurement foresters\, forest owners\, and forest service providers. Attendees will include both next-generation owners and foresters wanting more initial exposure to the investment type\, and also very advanced investors and managers wanting to push in to the most advanced methods of tree growth. \nThe enhanced learning experience\nThe course will start with 1.5 days of intense indoor instruction and discussion and will culminate in a ½ day field tour that views and demonstrates many of the advanced understandings covered in class. Both the class and outdoor learning experiences will be enhanced through case study and actual operational examples that are woven into the course. The class is limited to 50 people to maximize interaction and learning potential for the attendees. \nAdvanced\, applied operational pine plantation establishment and management considerations for forest investors and managers in the Southeast US and beyond \nNovember 16-17\, 2021\, 7:30am – 4:30pm — Hilton Garden Inn — Athens\, GA\nInstructors: \n\nDerek Dougherty\, PhD\nPhil Dougherty\, PhD\n\nBook Now ➝
