SUMMARY:Partner Event: From Forests to Faucets: Conservation Easements
DESCRIPTION:Note: Location has changed to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens \nFrom Maine to California\, communities across America struggle to provide clean drinking water to their residents. In contrast\, the Boothbay region has the invaluable opportunity to preserve our public drinking water supplies before we have a problem. The solution is both the simplest and least expensive way possible: if we can conserve enough of the undeveloped forest in our public water sources’ watersheds\, the watersheds can continue to act as natural filters that clean water before it reaches the reservoirs. \nThis final session of our three part series will focus on conservation easements. Angela Twitchell of Maine Coast Heritage Trust Land Trust and Nick Ullo of Boothbay Region Land Trust will co-lead this session. From local and statewide perspectives\, they will discuss conservation easements\, their principles and process\, and the financial and conservation benefits for landowners and the community. All sessions are free to the public. Participants do not need to attend all sessions (each session stands alone and participants can attend as many or few as they choose). Light refreshments will be served. For more information\, please contact Jenn Cusick at cleandrinkingwater@bbrlt.org.
