As fans of Land for Maine’s Future, we are concerned that Maine people haven’t been given a chance to vote for a new Land for Maine’s Future bond in eight years. The program has run out of money and needs to be replenished. It’s not a given that remote places in Maine will stay the same forever. Development, climate change and pollution threaten the health of Maine’s rivers and woods. Land preservation is one common sense way of sequestering carbon pollution and reducing our climate impact while also protecting our outdoor heritage and supporting the outdoor economy. ~ Rob Bryan, Harpswell, board member of New England Backcountry Hunters and Anglers; Jeff McEvoy, owner of Weatherby’s Lodge, Grand Lake Stream and a Master Maine Guide
