Partners and Mentors
We are grateful to Lucinda Flemer, whose vision—alongside her late husband John—brought Kingsbrae Garden to life. Their commitment to public good, beauty, and generosity continues to inspire us. With permission to use the Kingsbrae name, we move forward as an independent nonprofit seeking to add a new dimension to the already extraordinary programming the region provides.
We have partnered with Dr. Ola Tjornbo and the University of New Brunswick’s School of Leadership Studies to build an impact measurement team consisting of experts drawn from across Canada and from the Stockholm Resilience Centre in Sweden.
Our innovation partner is the Pond-Deshpande Centre, who will help to bridge the gap between bold ideas and tangible outcomes.
This region was—and continues to be—home of the Peskotomuhkati (Passamaquoddy) Nation, who have lived in connection with these lands and waters for thousands of years. Their presence, knowledge, and stewardship continue to shape this place and our efforts.
