As part of our Land Trust Program serving all of Maine’s 80+ land trusts, we host an annual land conservation conference to help us all work more collectively toward our shared goals—and it’s open to everyone including Maine’s land trust community. This year’s conference will emphasize a positive vision for the future and explore ways to support climate action in Maine. We’re excited to announce a Wednesday plenary session featuring Hannah Pingree, Director of the Governor's Office of Policy Innovation and the Future, and a panel of experts who will discuss the recent update to the Maine Won't Wait climate action plan, and what it will take to reach the goals it lays out.

Join Maine Coast Heritage Trust this Saturday, April 5 at the Seacoast Environmental Film Festival at the Kittery Community STAR Theatre! The day will kick off at 9:30am with the screening of “A Watershed Moment,” a short film produced by Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries in partnership with Maine Coast Heritage Trust. The film follows the multi-year, multi-group effort to restore fish passage in the Bagaduce River Watershed—a story to inspire hope in nature’s resilience and the power of partnership. The Seacoast Environmental Film Festival is a highly successful, day-long event that brings together Seacoast area environmentalists, activists, educators, and interested filmgoers to watch and discuss award-winning documentaries about critical environmental issues that are globally important and locally relevant. Suggested donation of $5 per film or day-long VIP pass for all films plus lunch at $50.00.
