Maine Farmland Trust has promoted Ellen Stern Griswold to vice president and deputy director. She previously served as policy and research director. Over the past five years, Griswold has led state and federal policy work, working with farmers and partners to achieve myriad successes including the establishment of a $60 million state fund to support PFAS-impacted farmers and further PFAS research, and a state ban on the land application of PFAS-contaminated sewage sludge and compost made from that sludge.
