The Nature Conservancy’s purchase of 9,608 acres in western Maine creates new “Boundary Mountains Preserve.”
An important link in a large swath of contiguous forest has been conserved, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Maine announced today. The conservation organization's purchase of 9,608 acres from Bayroot, LLC, lies directly adjacent to over 22,000 acres of public lands in Quebec, and next to a roughly 8,000-acre property where the Forest Society of Maine is working with a private landowner to purchase a conservation easement. The acquisition extends a corridor of permanently conserved lands northward to a total of over 260,000 acres, representing a key link in a major pathway of ecological connection from the White Mountains in New Hampshire through the western Maine Mountains and Quebec borderlands and beyond. The property will be known as the Boundary Mountains Preserve.
