A re-broadcast from June 1, 2020.  We welcomed Anna Wilkins to the ‘Are We Here Yet?’ virtual pandemic studio to discuss the latest land-management plan being advocated for by her organization.

The North County Land Trust is a steward of open spaces with a focus on the region of North Centtral Massachusetts.

Learn More about the North County Land Trust.

Since our discussion the NCLT has made several significant acquisitions including the Keyes Conservation area in Gardner, MA.

The organization is a strong advocate for intentional and balanced use of our open spaces.

About our Hosts:

Scott M. Graves is the founder of SMGraves Creative Enterprises.  Most recently he was executive director of the Wachusett Business Incubator where the SMG team experimented with various programming to overcome the meaningless ‘ribbon cutting’ experiences so synonymous with much of our nation’s  well-intentioned economic development.   He is known for a steadfast resolve for intellectual rigor and business strategy.  Nothing makes Scott feel more fulfilled than to help other develop their own unique creativity which leads to fulfillment in work and life.  His team is currently partnering with The Worcshop, the east coasts largest industrial makerspace to develop the Worc-It Business Lab for incubating new business.  

An entrepreneur in his own right, Scott previously operated the former Smash Music. Along with ImageIdentity’s David Lubelczyk their team developed Leadership Candidates Program for immersive support of new enterprise and Business Triage, a direct response to the issues now exacerbated for small businesses since the spread of Covid-19.
