Farm and estate planning workshop set for March 7

    DOVER-FOXCROFT — As a woodland owner, have you ever given any thought to “what’s next” when you are ready to move, retire or leave your land to family? Do you have a plan for what will happen to your land if you were to experience a major change in your life?

    You may want to join the Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District (PCSWCD), in partnership with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension Piscataquis County, as they present a farm and estate Succession Planning Workshop on Saturday, March 7.
    This dynamic and informative workshop will have valuable information for everyone. Presenters will include Paul Dillon, esq., of Corinth; representatives from the Maine Farmland Trust, Land For Good and Donna Coffin of the UMaine Cooperative Extension in Piscataquis County.
    For many, finding the right buyer for their land, planning to transfer their woodlot or farm, or sell their estate requires legal advice, options and information. This workshop will provide a wide breadth of information, tools and resources for residents interested in learning more about the sometimes complicated and overwhelming process of land and estate succession planning.
    The Farm and Estate Succession Planning Workshop will run from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, March 7 at the Dover-Foxcroft Congregational Church. Lunch will be provided by DKB Catering of Greenville.
    Pre-registration is required through the Piscataquis Valley Adult Education Center at (207) 564-6525 or through their website
