What We Do
We permanently conserve land to benefit the natural and human communities of western Penobscot Bay.
We accomplish our mission by:
- Working proactively and cooperatively with land owners to establish a system of conservation lands that feature:
- habitat supporting biological diversity;
- water resources, including rivers, lakes, wetlands, aquifers, and the bay;
- farms and forests managed for sustained productivity; and
- scenic landscapes essential to our sense of place.
- Sustaining the natural and historic values or our conservation lands through a strong stewardship program based on monitoring, management, restoration, and enforcement.
- Providing opportunities for the public to access and explore natural places.
- Promoting public awareness for and support for land conservation through a broad outreach effort.
- Collaborating with towns, agencies, and other organizations to protect resources that meet exceptional needs in the communities we serve.
- Engaging volunteers to help implement our conservation work.
