A look at the challenges that led to conservation successes during a remarkable period of activity from 1990 to 2015. During this time of forest ownership changes, Maine went from about 5% of some form of conservation to 20%. The forces that brought forth this change and the stories of conserving Maine’s North Woods will be described. Author Karin Tilberg was Staff Attorney and Director of Advocacy for Maine Audubon Society, became Maine Director and then interim Director for Northern Forest, served as Deputy Commissioner of Maine Department of Conservation and worked as a Senior Policy Advisor to Governor John E. Baldacci. Most recently, Tilberg was president and CEO of Forest Society of Maine, retiring in 2024.
