PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • September 8, 2021
The South Portland Land Trust has launched a new initiative to increase business support for land conservation, trail building and maintenance, and public engagement in climate change mitigation. The Community Business Partner Program will recognize the contributions of businesses to the land trust by publicizing them on its website, in its monthly newsletter and through social media. The land trust also plans to hold an annual spring gala. “For 35 years, we have worked to conserve open space and build and maintain trails in an effort to connect our neighborhoods,” said Richard Rottkov, the land trust’s president. “The Community Business Partner Program is one way we are asking the community to join us so we can continue this vital work.”
