Informational Meeting on Conservation Easement

11:00 am-12:00 noon

Saturday, July 25, 2009

The Playhouse, MacMahan Island, Maine

 

Hosted by Legal and By-Laws Committee

 

 

Dear Cottagers and Shareholders:

 

The Committee is pleased to report that both the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust (KELT at www.lkrlt.org) ) and the Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT at www.mcht.org) ) have confirmed interest in SICO's conveyance of a conservation easement for the northern part of MacMahan Island and all of Turnip Island. One organization responded to our proposal stating "...this is an important conservation project" and the other stated it would be "...a tremendous addition to conservancy in our region."

 

The Committee is currently conducting due diligence reviews and will meet later this week to discuss qualifications of each organization as it progresses towards a recommendation to the Board of Directors.

 

The attendance at the July 4 informational meeting was excellent, as was the feedback received on the proposed conservation easement. The July 25 meeting will provide yet another opportunity to ask questions or provide your views about the proposed easement or the candidate conservation organizations.

 

The Committee looks forward to seeing you on July 25 at 11:00 am.
