Andrew Mackie will discuss a mapping project recently completed by the Land Trust that looks at development changes in the town since 1970. He will use this data to support a bold conservation plan moving forward. He will include recently completed acquisitions by the Scarborough Land Trust and some that are in progress. He will also discuss the Town Council’s resolution regarding 30×30 and the current Open Space plan for Scarborough.
