Sep 8th 2009 01:03 pm INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY FORESTS
Mitchell Rasor, MRLD Principal, will be the keynote speaker at the Community Forest Workshop on October 16 in Bangor, ME and and October 23 in Bath, ME. The events are sponsored by the Maine Association of Conservation Commissions, the Maine Forest Service and the Community Forest Collaborative (part of the Trust for Public Lands). Mitchell is the author of the article “Civic Nature: Town Forests and the Origins of Public Land in Maine”. The article describes how community forests should be viewed as a part of a town’s formative/process infrastructure system - much like what is referred to as landscape urbanism today - as well as providing an overview of the changing roles of community forests since their inception.
