Kaid Benfield
As our country continues to see changes in our environment from the effects of climate change, Maine is working to not only reduce carbon emissions, but also address the national blind spot in the conversation - specifically the environmental implications of land use patterns. The Coronavirus pandemic has also brought into focus an urgent need to create and sustain communities that support healing and healthy lifestyles. The good news is there are land development strategies that support both human and environmental health. Kaid Benfield will articulate some of these key strategies – and the research behind them – that can help us move toward a more sustainable future.
