Looking at the Past for Scarborough’s Land Conservation

Posted on April 20, 2024 by Linda Snow-McLoon

SHS/SPL Program
May 5, 2024

The Scarborough Historical Society and Scarborough Public Library are offering a program to be held at the library on Sunday, May 5, beginning at 2:00pm. The program, Looking at the Past for Scarborough’s Land Conservation, will be presented by Andrew J. Mackie, Executive Director of the Scarborough Land Trust.

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.

The next program will be held on Sunday, June 2 when Neil Piper, an agricultural historian and Senior Appraiser for Farm Credit of Maine, will discuss Farming in Maine at the time of Statehood.

Seating is limited, so please reserve a seat at www.scarboroughlibrary.org/SHS
For more information, call the library at 396-6279.
