Stay tuned for more details on our planned sixth annual RRCT Celebrates! event on August 17, 2023, at Skyline Farm in North Yarmouth. The 2023 event will be from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, with a short program beginning at 5:00 pm.
Our 5th Annual 2022 RRCT Celebrates! was a great success. We were joined by Leia Lowery, the Director of Program and Outreach at The Climate Initiative (TCI) and the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust. Leia co-teaches the Gulf of Maine Field Studies class, as collaborator from the Kennebunk Conservation Trust, is co-founder of TCI, and an advocate for building stronger communities by connecting people through their local landscape and shared histories. Her work as an educator and community building resulted in her winning the Gulf of Maine Council Visionary Award in 2019, as well as her programs being featured in the national Land Trust Alliance magazine. Leia will be presenting twice at the National Land Rally in the fall of 2022.
Here is Leia’s transcript about the importance of place, youth empowerment, and our ability to confront climate change through expansive and inclusive community dialogue.
We awarded the 2022 RRCT Maine Conservation Champion Award to John Wensman and Jacinda Cotton Castro of Fiddlehead School of Arts & Sciences.
