Support the Creation of the Lakeville Community Forest Expansion

Working with local residents, Downeast Lakes Land Trust and The Trust For Public Land have undertaken a partnership to expand the Downeast Lakes Community Forest by purchasing a 2,025 acre parcel in Lakeville, ME.  This community forest will be owned and managed by Downeast Lakes Land Trust for wildlife habitat, public recreation access, and a sustainable timber economy.  For project details, visit https://www.tpl.org/our-work/downeast-lakes-community-forest-lakeville-expansion.  To learn more about the conservation work of Downeast Lakes Land Trust, please visit www.downeastlakes.org

By building hiking trails and water-access campsites, protecting pristine lakeshore, promoting outdoor recreation opportunities, and improving wildlife habitat, the Lakeville Expansion of the Downeast Lakes Community Forest will provide numerous economic and environmental benefits to the region.
