MAHOOSUC Land Trust

The Mahoosuc Region is part of the world’s largest intact temperate forest, which stretches from the Adirondacks to northern Quebec. These 26 million acres of continuous forest and rugged topography form a resilient landscape that offers a tapestry of natural beauty and diverse habitats where birds, animals, and insects thrive.

​

Mahoosuc Land Trust has conserved an awe-inspiring 25,000 acres across the region despite extensive land development. These treasures include boat landings and serene stretches of quickwater on the Androscoggin River, breathtaking peaks such as Rumford Whitecap and Puzzle Mountain, and vibrant working farms and forests. Dozens of miles of multi-use recreational trails on MLT lands invite adventurers, nature lovers, and explorers to immerse themselves in the region’s splendor and become its guardians and caretakers.

​

We partner with communities who want to create special places that engage people through education, recreation, or other experiences that deepen connection to the natural world. We are deeply committed to understanding and honoring the significance these lands hold for the Abenaki people, and to weaving the past with the present to enrich the future of this remarkable area.
