Members of the group will speak to the potential of the oil and gas resources in this geographical area. We will share concerns about responsible drilling, discuss the role of infrastructure in O&G development in NWPA, and highlight some of the latest news and information. Requirements for membership in the NWPA Landowner Group will be explained.  Randy Kreider, CPA, will share important information about the need for all landowners to engage in estate and tax planning well before signing a lease. There will be an extended Q&A section at the end.

The NWPALG is a private group, formed in June 2011, by a small number of land owners who wanted to form a grassroots landowner coalition to share information and become educated about leasing property for O&G exploration and production. Since that time over 250 landowners with over 24,000 acres have expressed interest in joining the group
