The second annual Tides of Change fundraiser brought hundreds of people from across southern Maine to Freeport to support Maine Coast Heritage Trust’s (MCHT) efforts to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change. Kate Stookey, president and CEO of the Topsham-based MCHT, said the Tides of Change fundraiser on March 27 at Maine Beer Company brought in over $92,000, surpassing last year’s event, which pulled in about $75,000. Fundraisers like Tides of Change bring awareness to MCHT’s work, such as conserving Maine’s coastlines and natural areas with programs like The Rivers Initiative and The Marshes for Tomorrow Initiative and efforts to secure land for conservation through its Land Trust Program.
