RANGELEY HIGHLANDER • February 23, 2026

The High Peaks Alliance is partnering with the Natural Resources Council of Maine to host a civic engagement event in Kingfield later this month, while also celebrating a major grant award and highlighting local conservation efforts and wildlife observations across the region. The civic engagement gathering will be held Feb. 25 from 5-7 p.m. at Longfellow’s in Kingfield. The event, led by NRCM Regional Outreach Coordinator Olivia Ruhlin and co-sponsored by the High Peaks Alliance, will focus on helping residents develop practical skills to engage in public policy and advocate for conservation initiatives.
