Portland Monument Planning Meeting: Nov 14th

The National Park Service (NPS) will host a public meeting on November 14, 2018, to continue the conversation on the on-going management planning process at Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.

Meeting Details:
Wednesday, November 14, 2018
6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Portland Marriott at Sable Oaks
200 Sable Oaks Drive, South Portland, Maine 04106

The meeting will include an overview and welcome by Superintendent Tim Hudson and a presentation of mapped resources and past planning events. Following the presentation, participants will also have the opportunity to visit separate information stations in an informal open house format to provide input on the mapped resources and uses in the monument. Light refreshments will be provided.

Similar public meetings were held in Presque Isle on October 17 and in Bangor on October 30, 2018. Future meetings on the planning process will be held throughout 2019.

You are invited to participate in the planning process by attending public meetings and sharing your input via email. If you submit written comments, please cc us at info@friendsofkww.org to let us know how you’ve weighed in.

This is an important opportunity for Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters supporters who are eager to take an active role in determining how the monument is managed and conserved. If you plan on joining us at the meeting or would like information on future meetings, please email our Operations and Special Projects Coordinator, Sam Deeran.
