Abstract |
Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) is a land conservation organization that serves the communities of Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham and Wakefield. The organization's mission is to conserve and connect the most important natural areas within its member communities, and to educate others about these efforts. Over the years, MMRG has provided its member communities with maps and reports intended to aid local and regional land use planning efforts. While some of our communities have taken these tools and successfully run with them--eg, New Durham and Wakefield--others have been slower to follow. The reality is that many board members are nonprofessional volunteers who lack the time or expertise to digest these tools, much less put them to active use. |
