Many have heard about large development proposals in northern Maine, but what is going on in Maine’s Northern Forest that led to this? And, what’s so special about this region, anyway?

Come join us for November’s potluck and presentation event to learn more about these land use issues and participate in a discussion about the future. On Thursday, November 6, 2008, AMC’s Maine Policy Manager Bryan Wentzell will present a slide show and discussion on land ownership changes in Maine’s Northern Forest over the last decade, and what this may mean for the its future. Bryan will share information on the potential impacts of these recent events, the effects of land conservation tools in recent years, and how these tools may work in the future. This event is open to the public.

The location is at the South Portland Library, 482 Broadway, South Portland, ME: parking is available off Highland Avenue. Dinner at 6 pm, presentation at 7 pm. Attendees are encouraged to bring a potluck item and their own dinnerware (plate, utensils etc.). Drinks will be provided and plastic-ware will be available. Come join us!
