Mainer tapped to chair Nature Conservancy

By The Mainebiz News Staff

A Maine man recognized for his work in sustainable forestry has been chosen to chair the board of directors of The Nature Conservancy.

Roger Milliken Jr., president and CEO of Maine timberland company Baskahegan Co., which owns 100,000 acres of timberland in eastern Maine, will take over the position that was once held by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and most recently by John Morgridge, former president and CEO of Cisco Systems Inc., the Bangor Daily News reported. Milliken has served eight years on the board of The Nature Conservancy, one of world's largest conservation groups.

The organization recently negotiated an agreement with Plum Creek Timber Co. and two other conservation groups to safeguard more than 340,000 acres in Maine's Moosehead Lake region, the paper reported.
