You are invited to a Q&A for Landowners interested in Farmland Protection and Conservation Easements.

In this question and answer session, learn the basics of what a conservation easement is and how sale of a conservation easement can help farmers access funding which can help to acquire a property or raise money to invest in a farm business. Farm landowners who have chosen to put their land into conservation easement will share their stories. Staff from Maine Farmland Trust and Midcoast Conservancy will share examples of how the process has worked for farmers and answer questions about the process.

Wednesday March 22, 4-5pm,

at Sheepscot General Store,

98 Townhouse Rd., Whitefield.

Food and drink provided, family and interested friends welcomed.
