This interview features the story of Dave Parent, a local landowner and forester. In order to protect his land, ensure financial stability in retirement, and ease the difficult decisions that come with passing on land to heirs, Dave participated in the Mississippi Headwaters Habitat Corridor Program. He discusses his attachment to his property, the factors he considered in making his decision, and how he feels about it now.
Paula West, the program coordinator, also joins the conversation to discuss the overall purpose and goals of the program and how to participate.
It's a fascinating conversation: I hope you enjoy it!
