ELLSWORTH — Frenchman Bay Conservancy announced the kickstart of a three-year fundraising initiative on Sept. 8 to complete a fundraising goal of $10 million.

“It’s not only an incredible opportunity to protect habitat and canopy cover within the city’s urban zone,” said FBC Executive Director Aaron Dority, “but also an important opportunity to ensure Ellsworth continues to be a place where people want to live, do business and recreate outdoors.”
