Land for Maine’s Future has for decades been one of the state’s most popular programs, but to be honest I’ve never much cared for the name. What does it mean to conserve land for the future? Are we putting it in a bank to mature? What does Land for Maine’s Future mean for the present day? As it turns out, lands set aside as part of the Land for Maine’s Future program are utilized right now, and their importance was never more apparent than last summer. ~ Nick Lund
