Municipalities have an important role to play in helping farm businesses thrive, protecting valuable farmland from development, and ensuring local ordinances and planning initiatives respond to the needs and goals of farmers in their communities.

Following the release of the Second Edition of Cultivating Maine’s Agricultural Future: A Policy & Planning Guide for Towns, join Maine Farmland Trust for a presentation and discussion on strategies that your town can take to support agriculture and protect farmland.

All are welcome to attend, and the information will be especially pertinent to municipal stakeholders, such as select boards, planning boards, town / city councils, comprehensive plan committees, conservation commissions as well as town code enforcement officers, managers, planners, and assessors.

Free refreshments and printed copies of the recently released municipal policy & planning guide will be provided! Please RSVP to let us know if you'll be joining via the link below.
