Visioning a Resilient Future
This week, we're releasing a special episode featuring a lightly-edited recording of our October webinar "Visioning a Resilient Future: The Role of Farmland Protection in Reaching Maine's Climate Goals." In this special edition, we welcome distinguished guests including Senator Craig Hickman, Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry Commissioner Amanda Beal, Chelsea Gazillo of American Farmland Trust, and Shelley Megquier, Policy & Research Director at Maine Farmland Trust. Join us as they shed light on the critical significance of farmland protection in the context of Maine's climate goals, sharing insights, expertise, and visionary perspectives.
Redefining Conservation is written, edited, and produced by the staff and volunteers of Sierra Club Maine, including Nyalat Biliew, Matthew Cannon, Nasreen Sheikh-Yousef, Anna Siegal, Philip Mathieu, Grace Deng, Minot Weld. It was recorded at WMPG in Portland, ME. Our theme music was composed by Nathan Kroms Davis.
