SUMMARY:Blue Hill Heritage Trust Presents: “Wildlands and Woodlands\, Far
 mlands and Communities\,” a presentation of the latest New England Conse
 rvation Plan\, published by The Harvard Forest and Highstead Foundation.
DESCRIPTION:Blue Hill Heritage Trust Presents: “Wildlands and Woodlands\,
  Farmlands and Communities\,” a presentation of the latest New England C
 onservation Plan\, published by The Harvard Forest and Highstead Foundatio
 n.\n\nFree admission\, light refreshments will be served\, all are welcome
 .\n\nBlue Hill Heritage Trust\, in cooperation with the Downeast Conservat
 ion Network\, is pleased to host Spencer Meyer\, Senior Conservationist at
  Highstead\, on October 3rd\, at 7pm\, at the Bagaduce Music Lending Libra
 ry’s Performance Hall (South St.\, Blue Hill).\nMeyer will present on Wi
 ldlands and Woodlands\, Farmlands and Communities\, a regional conservatio
 n report\, published this month\, by Harvard Forest and Highstead. The rep
 ort is being debuted on September 19\, 2017\, at Harvard University\, and 
 Blue Hill will be the first stop on a New England-wide tour.\n\n“Since 2
 004\, two editions of Wildlands and Woodlands have offered bold visions fo
 r conservation in New England\, calling not only for increased protection 
 of ecologically important wildlands\, but also of New England’s vital wo
 rking woodlands. This latest edition takes that vision one step further\, 
 addressing the need for more farmland conservation\, as well as smart urba
 n development\, all in a rapidly changing conservation funding landscape. 
 Far more than earlier versions\, this edition is focused on conserving the
  character and the communities of New England\, along with the land that s
 upports them. This report puts our work\, and the work of so many other or
 ganizations and people here on the Blue Hill peninsula\, into a hopeful an
 d inspiring context\, and we are thrilled to be able bring this to our com
 munities.”\n- Hans M. Carlson\, Executive Director of Blue Hill Heritage
  Trust\n\nThis report follows on a previous Wildlands and Woodlands conser
 vation vision for the region\, which in 2010 called for the permanent prot
 ection of existing farmland and 30 million acres of forest\, with most of 
 the forestland managed for wood products and other benefits (27 million ac
 res) and 10 percent set aside as wildland reserves (3 million acres). The 
 new report broadens its view of regional conservation\, fully embracing fa
 rmland and the built environment and recognizing the region’s diverse co
 nservation needs and challenges. The report presents conservation trends o
 ver the past several decades\, including acreage protected and lost\, chan
 ges in public funding in each state\, and the power of emerging networks o
 f conservation partnerships and new policy and finance opportunities. The 
 authors show that the original Wildlands and Woodlands vision is still ach
 ievable and call for tripling the current pace of conservation\, reversing
  public funding losses\, and putting more land to work for sustainable for
 estry and farming. The new report\, including video and supporting materia
 l can be viewed or downloaded free at http://wildlandsandwoodlands.org/vis
 ion/ww-vision-reports after September 19.
