Community Forests- Forests for People

Please join us on Saturday, June 24th from 8:30 am - 4 pm for a day to tour, learn, and dialogue about the strengths and challenges of community forestry in the Downeast region. A free community event, lunch included!

Through forums, dialogues, and panels, while in the community center, on boats (if weather cooperates) and in vans we will take the day to explore questions such as:

Does the community forest model work, is it valuable to communities?
What can we learn from this and other models?
What have we learned from existing community forests?
What are the opportunities to develop new ones?

Presenters and dialogue leaders include: Downeast Lakes Land Trust staff and board members; Julie Renaud Evans from the Northern Forest Center; Anica Miller Rushing from Downeast Conservation Network; and Caroline Pryor from Working for Land and Community.

Event hosted by, Downeast Lakes Land Trust, Downeast Conservation Network, Maine Coast Heritage Trust, and Northern Forest Center with support from the Jessie B. Cox Foundation
