WestFest 2019 is scheduled for Saturday, May 18 from 10 am to 2 pm on the OSU West Campus Quad.
Join us on the West Campus of The Ohio State University for a free public event showcasing sustainability and outreach at OSU and beyond! This event is open to people of all ages, from children to seniors.
This workshop will review the concept of time value of money and ways of incorporating it in cash flows related to natural resource projects. Then, using these concepts we will discuss several criteria for evaluating feasibility of natural resource projects from a financial perspective. The workshop will also include an introductory discussion on valuing goods and services that are not commercially bought and sold, such as ecosystem services.
