Who Is Ties to the Land For?
Successfully transitioning land to the next generation is a collaborative effort. Family, neighbors, friends, professional consultants, conservation organizations, and legal and financial advisers, to name a few, all may take part in crafting a succession plan. We are committed to ensuring that the many individuals and associations that may be involved in planning for succession have access to the resources and support they need to make it happen.
Family Land Ownership Issues
Millions of acres of family owned forest and agricultural lands will change hands in the next several decades. How those land transfers occur is important to maintaining those lands in their current use. A successful transfer depends on the abilities of these families to work together to find the best solution for their situation. But the differences among family members in values, goals and lack of critical skills can lead to disaster.
How Ties to the Land Can Help
We provide the essential tools and resources that help woodland owners make the decisions necessary to achieve their objectives and pass their land to succeeding generations.
