Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument has received $380,000 to potentially acquire two tracts of private land whose owners had signaled a willingness to sell to the federal government before the monument’s creation four years ago.
The U.S. Department of the Interior recently announced that Katahdin Woods and Waters – a roughly 87,500-acre national monument located just east of Baxter State Park – received the money to acquire unnamed tracts that “will provide enhanced recreational opportunities for visitors to enjoy.”
