Farmland Trust seeks board members

To the editor:

Are you concerned about the disappearing agricultural lands in our community? Come be a part of an amazing organization working to secure agricultural lands for the future.

Alaska Farmland Trust is a private, non-profit land trust dedicated to assisting landowners in preserving their working agricultural lands. The Alaska Farmland Trust is a statewide effort to protect farmlands for future generations. Preserving farmland in production is essential as Alaska faces increasing food security issues. AFTC’s goals are to secure Alaska’s farmland for future generations and to promote agricultural infrastructure through enhanced marketing, statewide policy and provide education to the public about agricultural issues.

The Alaska Farmland Trust is governed by a board of directors. Currently we have several board positions available and are looking for motivated, professional individuals willing to work for Alaska Agricultural lands. Call Margaret at Alaska Farmland Trust, 745-3336, to learn more about being a board member for the Alaska Farmland Trust or visit akfarmland.com to learn more about the organization and download an application online.
