Greetings!
Being winter in Maine, it may as well be snowing! This winter has been a gift for local cross-country skiers, skaters, and outdoor enthusiasts. And even as the days grow longer and the sunshine feels warmer, there’s still plenty of winter to enjoy.
For those of you who are ready to see solid ground again, we have a variety of upcoming meetings and events highlighted in this newsletter to keep you engaged. Here at RRCT, we are consciously “leaning in” to opportunities to collaborate with organizations and individuals working to protect and preserve our local environment. We hope you'll join us at some of these upcoming events.
As always, we are deeply grateful for your ongoing support and participation. The work we do ultimately depends upon finding landowners who are interested in conservation. While we may sometimes simply be a buyer of a property for sale, more often our acquisition projects begin with a landowner explicitly interested in preserving their land, or at least not wanting to see it developed.
In an effort to be a resource to these landowners, RRCT will co-sponsor an evening program in mid-March (see details below) featuring Jerry Bley of Creative Conservation, LLC, who has worked with hundreds of Maine families as they navigate important decisions about the future of their lands.
As you know, the vast majority of land within the Royal River Watershed remains privately owned, and each year less of it remains undeveloped. We strongly believe that strategic conservation is an investment in our collective future and one that begins one conversation at a time.
Enjoy the snow, you know you will miss it when it's gone.
Warmly,
The Board and Staff of RRCT
