Join the EFCN at the Maine Land Trust Network Conference. This conference provides training on best practices in land trust management, land transactions, fundraising, and stewardship.
Description: While water systems may see themselves alone in efforts to protect drinking water sources, many groups across the State are working towards similar goals. Land conservation groups, municipalities, lake associations, fire departments, schools, and other organizations also have an interest in clean water for their communities. Land trusts conserve forests – an effective clean water strategy. Lake associations monitor water quality and often have protection programs. Schools teach children and seek out community-based learning opportunities. Other organizations in the community may have practices in their work that overlap with the clean water mission of a water system. By working collaboratively towards shared goals, partners may be able to leverage their individual resources to make a bigger impact in drinking water source protection.
