Free Landowners Forum Taking Place Dec. 18
Opportunity for local landowners to learn more about their rights and responsibilities
December 3, 2012
Healthy Community Coalition (HCC) is hosting a free landowner’s forum, as part of its Mapping Our Footsteps initiative, on Tuesday, December 18, from 5–6:30 p.m. in the Chisholm Room at Franklin Memorial Hospital. The Landowner’s Forum is an opportunity for local landowners and managers to learn more about their rights and responsibilities and the benefits of allowing public use of their lands.
Mark Latti, landowner relations/recreational access coordinator for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, will speak about landowner liability laws and how local outdoor groups and organizations can work with landowners to allow public use on private land. Attendees will also have an opportunity to learn more about the Mapping Our Footsteps initiative, the Web site www.mainetrailfinder.com, and other resources for sustainable land use.
Mapping Our Footsteps is funded by the Environmental Funders Network. It focuses on connecting public health and the local natural environment through the promotion of local walking and hiking trails throughout Greater Franklin County.
