The Conservation Fund is serving as a bridge between landowner Herb Haynes and the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Conservation Fund purchases more than 6,000 acres in Aroostook County that will become a state wildlife management area.
The acquisition of 532 acres boosts a longstanding community vision for a trail system that will connect Sunday River through Bethel to Mt. Abram.
Nearly 500 feet high, the little-known mountain will be protected in perpetuity thanks to a collaborative effort between The Conservation Fund, Blue Hill Heritage Trust (BHHT) and Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT).
The group plans to continue responsible forestry operations there and to guarantee public access.
