Workshops
Best Practices in Due Diligence
Conducting due diligence is an essential aspect of any transaction to acquire land, a conservation easement or agricultural easement. In this workshop, you will have an opportunity to ask questions of an attorney and an experienced land trust professional regarding more advanced topics in due diligence including surveys, baseline documentation, appraisals, title search and insurance, phase 1 environmental assessments, legal and other services in support of land conservation and farmland acquisition projects. The workshop will also include an overview of relevant Standards & Practices, particularly Standards 8 (Evaluating and Selecting Conservation Projects) and 9 (Ensuring Sound Transactions.) Bring your questions and your land trust’s attorney!
