On September 15, 2021, Center director Ross Pifer will join the National Agricultural Law Center to present a webinar entitled, “An Overview of Federal and State Purchase of Agricultural Conservation Easement (PACE) Programs.” This is a one-hour webinar that will begin at noon (EST).

The National Agricultural Law Center describes the webinar as follows:

“This webinar will provide an overview of, and background for, various state and federal PACE programs, including the recent consolidation of previous federal programs into one single program called the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program. The webinar also will address how land is identified, evaluated, and selected for PACE programs as well as reviewing the pros and cons of the various methods employed. With many government-purchased easements now approaching or exceeding the 25-year mark, this webinar will discuss the legal issues that have been addressed by these programs as well as the legal issues that have been raised by the continuation of these programs.”
