In advance of Rosh Hashana 5782 all those that own land in Eretz Yisroel during Shmita should keep in mind the following three points:
1. While reciting שהחיינו by Kiddush ליל ראש השנה it is preferable to include in the כוונת הברכה all the mitzvos of Shmita.
2. It is preferable to articulate on the first night of Rosh Hashana -
הנני מוכן ומזומן לקיים מצוות עשה ומצוות לא תעשה של שמיטה
3. According to the majority of poskim one does not need to be מפקיר פירות שביעית בפה ובפני שלשה, a sign on the land allowing everyone to partake in the fruits of the field is sufficient. However, in line with the stringent opinions, Ahavas Olam Shmita Project will be מפקיר בפה ובפני שלשה on behalf of all the land purchasers (on Erev Rosh Hashana with the stipulation that the הפקר will only be binding with the onset of Rosh Hashanah). Anyone who desires can be מפקיר בפה ובפני שלשה on their own.
See below for an audio Shiur from Rav Simcha Klein detailing all the sources for the above three points.
