BACKGROUND
Starting in the Fall of 2023 Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters embarked on a new strategic planning process, supported by a generous grant from the National Park Foundation. We began by listening deeply to the communities we serve, hearing from over 40 stakeholders in 1-on-1 interviews and group sessions, and nearly 300 supporters and visitors through an online survey. This set the stage for our dedicated staff and board to gather, reflect, and chart the course for Friends at this exciting moment in our young organization’s history. The result is a refined mission statement, a new vision, and for the first time, a set of organizational values that will guide all we do going forward.
