Freeport Conservation Trust
Freeport Conservation Trust (FCT) is a non-profit organization founded in 1977, dedicated to protecting and preserving natural spaces in Freeport, Maine. With over 1,769 acres of land under its stewardship, FCT works with private landowners to enforce permanent restrictions on property through conservation easements or outright ownership, ensuring the conservation of scenic farmland, vital shorefront, and vast woodlands. FCT also provides public access to these natural areas through its extensive trail system, which spans over 20 miles and is continuously improved and expanded through generous donations and volunteer efforts. Committed to its mission of connecting open space lands and providing public access to natural areas, FCT collaborates with local residents and businesses to raise funds for land purchase and ongoing stewardship. The organization also organizes various events and workshops, such as invasive species workshops, guided walks, book presentations, and the annual Trail Challenge, engaging the community in environmental education and conservation efforts. With a dedicated team and the support of its partners, FCT continues to conserve and protect the cherished landscapes of Freeport, Maine.Generated from the website
