You are cordially invited to PRLT’s Annual Meeting at Randall Orchards! From building Gorham Community Forest, to making improvements at East Windham Conservation Area and Lowell Preserve, to updating our water quality monitoring program, we’ve had a busy year worth celebrating.

We’re also excited to be welcoming a guest speaker this year: Keith Carson, former broadcast meteorologist and current Director of Environment and Science Communications with Maine Conservation Voters, will be joining us for a short keynote. He’ll share data about how our climate is changing and impacting the lands and waters we love, as well as strategies for how we can work in community to spark collective change.
