How to Start a Co-op & Buy Land as a Community: Legal Structures and Practical Steps

Many people dream of community, but it feels like an impossible task. Either they wonder how they can get from not owning land to being able to afford it, or perhaps have a group but aren’t sure how to move their project forward, or may be own land have have tenants but struggle with the dynamics of being a landlord in a community. 

In this class we’ll have a brief review of legal structures for land stewardship and community-owned community projects, and then dive into a practical overview of how to bring a collective land project from vision to reality. We’ll also have space to discuss some of the challenges and developmental edges of the changing space of collective ownership and management.

We’ll be in our cozy living room! Brings snacks to share 🙂
