CAMDEN  — This week, Coastal Mountains Land Trust welcomed Tempe Landi, Development & Communications Coordinator, to their team. Landi comes to the Land Trust having worked in a variety of fundraising capacities, most recently at Skidmore College in New York.

A native of New Jersey, Landi attended William Smith College and completed her master’s degree at the University of Rochester. Home to family and many close connections, she has spent a significant amount of time in the Midcoast region and has a deep appreciation for the many trails and preserves protected by the Land Trust.

“Our family is thrilled to relocate to this area where we are already so vested and engage in work that I believe will have a truly meaningful and long-term impact on the communities I treasure,” said Landi, in a CMLT news release. “I am inspired by the work Coastal Mountains Land Trust has been doing and am excited to contribute.”

Landi lives in Lincolnville with her husband, son, and golden retriever. She is responsible for the Land Trust’s fundraising and communications efforts and is excited to work with the community, staff, and Board to advance the Land Trust’s mission, said the release.

Coastal Mountains Land Trust has worked since 1986 to permanently conserve land to benefit the natural and human communities of the western Penobscot Bay. The Land Trust manages over 13,000 acres and maintains over 50 miles of permanent trails for public access.
