GrowSmart Maine plans to host a webinar, “Creating Community: Farming and Housing,” from 4:30-6 p.m. Tuesday, March 26.

This webinar will address how local communities can address this dual challenge: how can Maine’s communities promote farm viability and farmland protection through municipal planning, while also enabling housing and growth?

GrowSmart Maine will speak with three “farmer-planners” who have been at the frontlines of helping their communities navigate these issues. These include State Rep. Kathy Shaw of Auburn, David Asmussen of Bowdoinham, and Jeremy Kasten of Berwick.

This webinar, organized by GrowSmart Maine in collaboration with Maine Farmland Trust, is sponsored by Kennebec Saving Bank.

The webinar link will be provided upon registration.

The cost is $25 for a non-member registration and free for a member registration.

If an individual, business or organization is already a member of GrowSmart, they can email Amanda Vermillion at membership@growsmartmaine.org for a code to register for free.
