Helpful LTA Listserv Q&As

The Land Trust Alliance facilitates a land trust listserv that provides a way for the quick, informal, exchange of often invaluable information. HLPN monitors the listserv and will include some of the best discussions here in condensed form.

Please note: Not all the information on the listserv will be applicable to your state because some matters are subject to state law. As with all information on this website, the information provided in the listserv is not legal advice. It is important that you consult with an attorney before making a decision or taking action.
