Mahoosuc Land Trust

Inspiring Action Through Conservation

What We Do

Our work embraces a growing movement to protect biodiversity at every scale. At a landscape level, we protect thousands of acres within the globally significant forest ecosystem of the Mahoosuc Region, ensuring critical habitats for wildlife, recreational opportunities for all, and ecological benefits that extend far beyond Maine. We are also actively demonstrating in our Habitat For All Garden how small-scale habitat creation in backyards, gardens, and woodlots provides critical refuges for pollinators and birds.

Our Work

The Androscoggin River

We're working to keep a globally important forest intact and magnifying every person’s role in conservation.

Habitat for All Garden

Change begins at home. We focus on backyards, gardens, and schoolyards because these are often the first places where we connect with nature.

Hikers at trail kiosk

Conserved land provides public trails and boat launches, allowing everyone to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, paddling, and skiing.
