Building Climate-ready Communities:

Severe storms this past winter wreaked havoc along the coast of Maine and left communities and habitats altered in many ways. Stronger winds, extreme precipitation and temperatures, and flooding are only a few of the hazards exacerbated by climate change. Maine's island and coastal communities are vulnerable to these impacts, but many communities are taking action to mitigate human causes of climate change and are adapting systems and infrastructure to lessen hazard impacts. Join Gayle Bowness, Municipal Climate Action Program Manager at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI), Hannah Pingree, Director of the Governor's Office of Policy Innovation and the Future (GOPIF), and resilience planner Gabe McPhail to learn about climate science, community resilience, and how the state and Maine communities, particularly North Haven and surrounding islands, are taking action For our NHCP Annual Meeting, we are hosting this important presentation and panel discussion on Tuesday, August 6 at 5 pm at Peter Allen's Barn on Crabtree Point Road.

Welcome to

North Haven Conservation Partners

North Haven Conservation Partners (NHCP) is a community based, community supported land conservation, non-profit dedicated to conserving property on and around North Haven for the benefit of this unique island community and its guests.

For over two decades, volunteers and staff alike have devoted time and energy toward building a sustainable organization that can deliver predictability and permanence to North Haven’s landscapes because we love this special place. Moreover, we understand that change and development are part of North Haven’s future and that both are necessary for a sustainable, local economy. However, we firmly believe that this community’s healthy future is inexorably linked to a balance between development and land conservation– land that is productive (farm, forest, waterfront access), land that harbors wildlife diversity, and land that continues to feed our souls.

Whether you live here year round or are lucky enough to visit from time to time, you’ve likely experienced North Haven’s magnetic pull. No doubt that attraction is a combination of people, family, and community but isn’t the draw also this amazing natural setting 12 miles off shore? NHCP’s success has been and is predicated upon the willingness of landowners and the generosity of families and individuals. We are eternally grateful to them all. If you haven’t already please join us in making sure our grandchildren’s children will feel this place is as special as we do.
