Dear John,

Last month, Maine Conservation Voters launched our Lunch & Learn series, and every week, dozens of you have joined us on Zoom to learn from smart people about the work they are doing to prepare Maine for a rapidly changing future.

From experts on birds and farming to the leaders in Maine’s government that are guiding the development of a new climate action plan, we’ve learned so much together.

We’re excited to announce the next three weeks of Lunch & Learn programming , and we hope you’ll plan to join us. If you haven’t joined an event yet, video recordings of our previous Lunch & Learns programs are available on our website [[link removed]] . Additionally, if you have topic suggestions for future events, please email my colleague Will Sedlack at [email protected].
