About the Lower Kennebec Regional Land Trust
The Lower Kennebec Regional Land Trust is committed to conserving land and wildlife habitat of the Lower Kennebec and Sheepscot River estuaries. We are a community based membership organization serving the towns of Arrowsic, Bath, West Bath, Georgetown, Westport Island and Woolwich. Our Board of Directors is drawn from the communities we serve. Since our founding we have acquired nine properties totaling 700 acres, and hold conservation easements on an additional twelve properties totaling 705 acres. Of equal importance, we have participated in fruitful collaborations with state and federal agencies and private conservation organizations under the umbrella of the Maine Wetlands Protection Coalition, resulting in the protection of over 6,000 additional acres of critical wetland habitat. Through mechanisms such as conservation easements, property donation and outright purchase, LKRLT is committed to identifying and protecting land in our region with ecological, agricultural, scenic or historic significance and providing access to the properties we own for non-motorized low impact recreation. In February 2007, LKRLT began a formal partnership with the Phippsburg Land trust and established the Kennebec Estuary Collaboration.
