Taking a Holistic Approach to Managing Your Land

May 24, 2018


More than one million women now own or manage farmland across America with many of these women inheriting their land from their spouse or parents. These women landowners can face challenges when planning for the future of their land. To reach the growing number of women landowners, American Farmland Trust, along with Cornell University Cooperative Extension Northwest New York Team and Ohio's Wood Soil & Water Conservation District, have joined together to offer a number of different opportunities to share information and learn more about preserving their land long into the future.

Invite a friend or family member to join you!
