Midcoast Conservancy
In 2016, four local land trusts and conservation organizations merged to become Midcoast Conservancy. In January of 2019, we welcomed a whole new group to the family: Medomak Valley Land Trust. Together, our five founding organizations have become one of the largest regional conservation organizations in Maine, with over 13,000 acres of land conserved.
