The CDWI (Clean Drinking Water Initiative) will present three evening sessions on why and how to protect our local drinking water sources. Each session is a self-contained unit and participants may attend one, two or all three. The third session,  at Boothbay Region Land Trust, Oak Point, 5:30-7 p.m., will focus on conservation easements. Angela Twitchell of Maine Coast Heritage Trust Land Trust and Nick Ullo of Boothbay Region Land Trust will co-lead this session. From local and statewide perspectives, they will discuss conservation easements, their principles and process, and the financial and conservation benefits for landowners and the community. As with session one, this forum has broader implications than our water supply watersheds.
