This is a beginner-intermediate level webinar.
Violations can be stressful and challenging. In addition to the legal implications, land trusts risk their relationships with landowners, as the process of finding an acceptable resolution can create rifts between the land trust and the landowner. Are there methods to resolve violations that could strengthen instead of weaken relationships with landowners? This webinar will present strategies engaging with landowners by providing proven techniques for communicating with landowners and others about potential or suspected violations.
Participants will learn:
- How to avoid creating unnecessary conflicts
- What language to use and what language to avoid in communications
- When to use mediation techniques and professionals to resolve challenging disputes.
Long-time land trust expert Paul Doscher and trained mediator Carol Hess will help you understand why landowners react in certain ways to your communications and proposals, and how to get to resolutions that preserve a positive relationship with landowners that are, in the final analysis, your partners in protecting the land.
