Policymakers, forest landowners, conservationists, local residents, philanthropists, and recreational users have been trying, often contentiously, to figure out how best to use and preserve Maine's vast forest lands. This illustrated talk explores some of the most interesting ideas offered or implemented to conserve Maine's dual heritage of wilderness and working forest since Thoreau climbed Katahdin. Learn what has worked, what has not, and where things are headed.
