September 15th at 3PM ET Conservation Easements on Conservation Burial Grounds: What, Why and How Conservation easements are an essential element in conservation burial grounds. The Green Burial Council describes them as: A voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust (or government agency) that permanently limits the uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. This webinar will provide a basic understanding of conservation easements and their purposes, including how writing the conservation easement can impact the long term management of the burial ground. CBA Founders Freddie Johnson, of Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery (FL), and Jeff Masten, of Bluestem Conservation Cemetery, (NC) will share experiences and advice from years of practice as conservationists and burial ground operators.

November (date TBD)
Short & Long Term Strategic Planning / Financial Sustainability / Endowment & Perpetual Care Learn more about strategic planning, for immediate use and for the long term. We'll discuss Endowment and Perpetual Care Funds, and how to ensure that a Conservation Cemetery remains viable in perpetuity. This presentation will feature Conservation Burial Ground managers, as well as legal and financial advisors.

What conservation education must build is an ethical underpinning for land economics and a universal curiosity to understand the land mechanism. Conservation may then follow."
