Maine Farmland Trust Strategic Planning

Join the Conversation

Dave & Christine Colson - along with Board Members Alix Hopkins & Tom Settlemire - invite you to join friends of Maine Farmland Trust for breakfast and discussion. We’re bringing together donors, farmers, policymakers, and partner organizations to gather feedback that will guide our strategic planning process. Join the conversation and help shape Maine Farmland Trust's future.

The Process

Maine Farmland Trust is developing its next 5-year strategic plan. As part of this process, staff will host four events across Maine to connect with farmers, supporters, policy makers and other partners.

These gatherings will offer space for participants to share their perspectives, ask questions, and highlight priorities that will help shape and strengthen the strategic plan. Along the way, we’ll also connect with advocates, volunteers, and supporters who are inspired to join us in this work.

This conversation is an opportunity to share your insights, concerns, and hopes for the future of farmland conservation. Your input will help guide our priorities and ensure we continue to serve the needs of our communities and landscapes.
