“For many woodland owners,
there are more questions than
there are answers,” said Smith.
“Questions like: Am I liable for
hunters and recreational vehicles
on my property? Will posting
effect my liability? Is the old oil

The seminar will cover several
of the more pertinent legal issues
that concern woodlands, and
answer many of the questions fre-

out that “it is not the intent of the
program to provide individual leg
al counsel for specific problems.”
The topics to be covered in the
program include an overview of
the trespass law and property post
ing, landowner rights and respon
