Today is one of those beautiful winter days that are mad for the chamber of commerce. The sky is crystal clear and blue with temperatures in the upper 20s and breeze as opposed to the strong winds of late. The snow only serves to round out a complete New England winter scene. The only thing wrong with the picture today is that I have a series of meetings that will keep me inside most of the day.
I volunteer for two institutions directly involved in conservation education, the Maine Conservation School and Unity College . One thing that has become very clear to me is that there is no clear view in the conservation community of what successful conservation education should look like. Every group from the smallest to the largest has their own education program. All of them are struggling to be successful.
ROCKPORT, Maine - More than 300 tourism and hospitality professionals gathered today at the Samoset Resort in Rockport for the 2007 Governor's Conference on Tourism.
