Community Forest Expansion

Project cost: $3 Million

Working to conserve the forests in and around Chadbourne Tree Farm for water quality, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation, traditional working forests, and vibrant communities

The Chadbourne Tree Farm Partnership is four conservation organizations—The Conservation Fund, Inland Woods + Trails, Mahoosuc Land Trust, and Western Foothills Land Trust—conserving 25,000 acres of working forests in western Maine, including  the white pine forests managed by the Chadbourne Family for generations. With development pressures fragmenting open lands and forest habitats across Maine and New England, the Partnership was formed to protect the Chadbourne Tree Farm and adjacent lands for the waters, the wildlife, and the people who share this stunning landscape of western Maine.
