The CDWI (Clean Drinking Water Initiative) will present its third session on why and how to protect our local drinking water sources from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens’ Bosarge Education Center. The session is titled: From Forests to Faucets – CDWI Series on Drinking Water Protection: Conservation Easements

The third session will focus on conservation easements. Angela Twitchell of Maine Coast Heritage Trust Land Trust and Nick Ullo of Boothbay Region Land Trust will co-lead this session. From local and statewide perspectives, they will discuss conservation easements, their principles and process, and the financial and conservation benefits for landowners and the community. As with session one, this forum has broader implications than our water supply watersheds.
