SUMMARY:Talk - A Career in Conservation: Frequent retooling required!
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, UMaine. \n\nVirtual attendance: Complete the registration form to receive Zoom connection information.\nIn-person attendance: Masks are required for all Mitchell Center talks.\n\nSpeaker: Tim Glidden\, Former President\, Maine Coast Heritage Trust \nThe work of conservation has changed dramatically in Maine over the past 50 years in response to shifting challenges and opportunities. Effective response has required constant balancing and rebalancing appropriate approaches: specialization vs interdisciplinary; confrontation vs collaboration; competition vs partnership. In this talk\, Tim will explore this period through the personal lens of his own direct involvement and the evolving skills and professional growth required. \nTim Glidden has had a long career in Maine land conservation\, environmental advocacy\, and natural resource policy. He has degrees in Environmental Studies from Colby College and Forestry Science from Yale. Since working on the original zoning of Maine’s Unorganized Territory in 1974\, Tim consulted internationally\, served as Principal Analyst for Natural Resources at the Maine Legislature\, Deputy Director at the Natural Resources Council of Maine\, Director of the Land for Maine’s Future Program and most recently as the President of Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Tim loves to sail and paddle and looks forward to introducing two grandsons to the joys of the Northwoods and Maine Coast. \n
