Conversations From the Pointed Firs
Conversations from the Pointed Firs is a monthly series of discussions between host Peter Neill and Maine-connected authors and artists about new books and creative projects that invoke the spirit of Maine, its history, its ecology, its culture, and its contribution to community and quality of life. Authors and artists interviewed live in Maine, work in Maine, or otherwise derive their creativity from its essence.

Our guest this month on Conversations from the Pointed Firs is KARIN R TILBERG, author of “Loving the North Woods: 25 Years of Historic Conservation in Maine”, published by Down East Books in late 2024. Karin is also a lawyer, conservationist, past-President/CEO of The Forest Society of Maine. She and Peter discuss her recently-published book, which chronicles environmental protection and innovation in Maine's north woods, as accomplished by land trusts, government agencies, forest land owners, and the work of individuals who foresaw the protection of a vast segment of Maine as natural asset and contribution to our shared quality of life.
