NC State Extension and ASAP (Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project) are partnering to present a half-day workshop for landowners. With all of the changes in land ownership occurring across the state there are many impacts to people who own farm and forest land or who may purchase or inherit undeveloped property. This FREE workshop is intended to help both existing and potential landowners become more familiar with the legal, business, and regulatory concerns that go hand in hand with owning a farm and forestland. This event is free but registration is required and limited to 50 attendees. Please register at this link
