An October 21-23, 2010 conference organized by the Kennebec Woodland Partnership will focus on the importance of forestland to the Kennebec County region. The conference is open to the public and will feature sessions of interest to forestland owners and others who work and recreate in the woods in Kennebec County. The Partnership supports a wide range of actions and tools available to landowners that will help sustain forests in Kennebec County.

The Kennebec Woodland Partnership, a forestland conservation initiative launched by the Maine Forest Service and Kennebec Land Trust, was formed out of common interests and an awareness that the county’s local economy, wood products markets, recreational opportunities, water quality, wildlife habitat, and quality of life all depend largely on about 388,000 acres of woodland. The KWP’s goal is to provide a wide range of tools and strategies to help landowners make informed decisions about their woodlands. &nbsp
