Understanding Solar Leasing: Workshops for Agricultural Landowners in the PNW
Understanding Solar Leasing: Workshops for Agricultural Landowners in the PNW
To accompany the recent release of our guidebook, Solar Leasing: A Guide for Agricultural Landowners in the Pacific Northwest, the American Farmland Trust is offering workshops that will help agricultural landowners better understand the complexity of solar leases. Each two-hour workshop will focus on the first two sections of the guide, covering topics such as:
- Understanding the Scale of Solar Projects
- Realizing the Phases of the Solar Leasing Process
- Exploring Agrivoltaics: Solar and Farming
- Weighing Financial Opportunities, Losses, and Risks
- Recognizing Impacts to Agriculture and the Land
- Respecting Relationships: Having powerful conversations with others who have connections to your land, and
- Identifying Non-Negotiable Issues
Throughout the session participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and participate in reflection exercises.
