Piscataquis Preserve Phase 2

Atkinson, Maine
New Project, Spring 2011

The Northeast Wilderness Trust is pleased to announce that it has commenced the second phase of a greater Piscataquis Preserve aggregation effort. The Trust hopes to raise $1.75 million to acquire an additional 2,200 acres around the Piscataquis River tributary Levensellor Brook, and also conserve another 3,800 acres of match lands. If successful, roughly 24 square miles of continuous habitat will be permanently secured. Additional phases of conservation are envisioned in the future, including protection of lands across the river from the Trust’s conservation properties, key inholdings, adjoining parcels, and various ecological hotspots providing habitat for rare and sensitive species.
