A $1.2-million grant will help high school students in the Moosehead and Katahdin regions develop pathways to meaningful careers, with an emphasis on natural resource-based industries.
The Northern Forest Center has long viewed access to outdoor recreational assets and programming as a key ingredient in what makes up the fabric of vibrant communities, as well as an avenue to both retain and attract residents to the region.
The Center is launching an initiative to bring together a network of eight Community Forests along the Androscoggin River watershed to explore collaborative opportunities and how their conserved land can support local climate resilience.
The latest round of mini grants from the Northern Forest Center via the Adirondack Community Recreation Alliance are already having an impact, connecting communities with recreational opportunity, enhancing access and strengthening recreational experiences in and near our towns.
