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.
