Cooperative Forestry Southern
Region and the Washington Office staff hosted a national Landowner
Assistance Program meeting in historic Charleston, South Carolina
October 3-5, 2006. For the first time, the meeting was held
in conjunction with the annual Forest Legacy Program meeting
- and all states and territories were invited to participate.
Approximately 100 Forest Service and State forest agency
representatives attended the meeting. The first day was focused
on Forest Legacy Program matters including land trust accreditation,
appraisal issue, and quality assurance reviews. On the second
day, the group took in the natural beauty and abundant wildlife
along the Cooper River, where the South Carolina Department
of Natural Resources has successfully negotiated a number
of Forest Legacy tracts and other conservation acquisitions.
Following the river tour, participants went to the Sewee Visitor
and Environmental Education Center to discuss matters relevant
to all LOA programs, including comprehensive, landscape scale
planning and the use of Forest Stewardship plans to further
conservation objectives in conservation easements. The third
day of the meeting focused on the Forest Stewardship Program,
with panels on the Spatial Analysis Project, Reaching Future
Forest Owners and on the program's relevance to disaster preparation/mitigation.
The following are power point presentations from the
National LOA meeting.
