On Thursday April 16th the Belfast Free Library will host a presentation and conversation with Jack Shaida, Senior Stewardship and Land Protection Manager at Coastal Mountains Land Trust. The program will take place at 6:30 pm in the Abbott Room of the Library with a Zoom option.
Register for the Zoom link here.
Join us to learn about the history of conservation in Belfast and Waldo County, ongoing work to protect special places, and how conservation can help mitigate the impacts of climate change. How has conservation benefited Belfast today, and how will it affect its future in these turbulent times? The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a rousing (but appropriately short) game of conservation and trail trivia.
Coastal Mountains Land Trust is a non profit organization with the mission to permanently conserves land and connects people with nature in the Western Penobscot Bay region. Throughout 2026, CMLT will celebrate 40-years of success, rooted in a common story of people coming together to protect the special places that make these experiences possible.
This program is co-sponsored by the Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition and the Waldo County Climate Action Coalition.
The program will be recorded and uploaded to the Library’s YouTube Channel.
