Forest and Rangeland Taxation Conference 2026

The Forest and Rangeland Taxation Conference brings together researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers to examine how tax policy shapes the stewardship and long-term viability of working forests and rangelands. It focuses on the role of federal, state, and local tax incentives in supporting land retention, conservation outcomes, and sustainable management, while addressing gaps in implementation, understanding, and real-world effectiveness. The meeting aims to foster practical exchange across disciplines and professional roles, identify concrete challenges and opportunities in current tax frameworks, and bridge academic research with on-the-ground land management to identify gaps in knowledge, education, and practice and strategies to address them.
