David Mallett hails from a small town in northern Maine, and in a career that spans four decades, his music has traveled to all corners of the world. His songs have been recorded by more than 150 artists, including Pete Seeger, Alison Krauss, John Denver, Emmylou Harris, and even the Muppets, and his "Garden Song" has become an American folk classic.

He has performed in town halls and folk clubs across America and Europe in addition to major venues such as Barns of Wolf Trap, Newport Folk Festival, and "Prairie Home Companion". The Bangor Daily News recognized him as one of the 58 most memorable Mainers of the 20th Century. The readers of FOLKWAX (www.folkwax.com) voted him 2003 Artist of the Year and "Artist in Me" 2003 Album of the Year. He has recorded 14 albums, including “The Fable True” (2007), based on Thoreau’s last expedition in 1857, a spoken word CD with accompanying music. www.davidmallett.com

Why protect Roberts Farm Preserve?
Preservation of our rural working landscapes is key to the preservation of the Maine we love to visit, and the Maine some of us are lucky enough to call home. The Western Foothills Land Trust is honored to partner with one of Maine's premiere singer/songwriters, David Mallett, to protect a local working landscape and one of our area's seminal views. Roberts Farm Preserve, a 150 acre wooded parcel which overlooks Norway's Lake Pennesseewassee, was once a model dairy farm in western Maine, and home to John A. Roberts, Maine's Commissioner of Agriculture 1913-1918. The Trust has worked with Caribou Recreation to design a system of nonmotorized multi-use trails for the land that will provide a unique asset in our area while preserving traditional views, water, forest, and land resources. Benefits from the October 11th concert will help us meet the $310,000 land acquisition costs.
