Legacy Planning 101

Thursday, February 5 | 3:00–4:00 pm (Postponed from January 14th)

Presenter: Paul Catanzaro, UMASS Extension Forester

Join Vermont Woodlands Association as we kick off our Legacy Planning Webinar Series for Forestry Professionals with a webinar that explores the foundational role foresters can play in estate and succession planning. Paul Catanzaro will discuss how foresters help landowners clarify long-term goals for their woods, connect forest management plans to legacy planning conversations, and serve as trusted partners during periods of ownership transition. Designed specifically for consulting foresters, this session provides practical insight into supporting landowners as they think about the future of their land, while reinforcing the connection between estate planning and long-term forest stewardship.

Legacy and succession questions often come up in the course of working with landowners, even when foresters are not expected or asked to be directly involved in family decision-making. This webinar focuses on how consulting foresters can navigate these conversations professionally and appropriately, while staying within their role.
