A talk with Kent Wommack, former executive director of the Nature Conservancy in Maine. The Colby College graduate has been instrumental in preserving thousands of acres of Maine’s wilderness, most notably the purchase in 1998 for $35 million of a 185,000 tract in northern Maine that includes 40 miles along the Upper St. John River. Globally, he’s done the same as Director of Australia’s Nature Conservancy and is currently serving as interim Director of the Nature Conservancy Canada. He is credited with forever changing how land is conserved in Maine and he’s just as passionate about how conservation efforts can transcend borders and continents.
