Decisions

evaluate decision support and impact assessment tools. This is a great

nonprofit leaders, resource professionals and others who assist citizen

experience a variety of tools that can be used to strengthen the planning
process and everyday land use decisions. Come learn about these important
tools from the people actually creating this new technology.

"WHO OWNS America? IV: Land
Acquisition and Retention"
On the University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus, Madison, WI.
This conference is fourth in a series established in 1995 by the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, Land Tenure Center's North American
Program.
This fourth conference addresses land acquisition and retention issues
such as fractionation (heir property), land titling, inheritance, and
management. The focus is on those who are often excluded,
marginalized, unequally served, or have limited participation in setting
public policy.
The conference Agenda is grounded in the growing realization that problems
experienced in specific communities are not necessarily unique, and that
all communities and peoples can benefit from learning how others are
meeting the challenge of land acquisition and retention. |
