“Living in Maine provided unlimited opportunities to heal one’s soul and lift one’s spirit during so much personal isolation.”

“To me, land conservation means making sure that peace of mind will be there for all of us in the future as well as for future generations.”

“I grew up on a pick-your-own strawberries and vegetable-producing farm in Bowdoin, Maine. I have always had land to roam, but I realize many people do not. The land conservation work that MCHT does is very important. It gives everyone access to land to enjoy and experience.”

“I love that I get to work to connect people to the forest and coastal playgrounds of Maine.”

“As a child growing up on the coast of Maine, I took its beauty and accessibility for granted. Now I truly appreciate all this wonderful state has to offer, and I want to make sure that my children and grandchildren will have the same opportunities to get outside. I am proud to be part of a team that works so hard to protect our beautiful coast.”

MCHT’s mission to keep the Maine coast open, healthy, working, and beautiful gives me hope.  It is very gratifying to be at an organization that makes my work purposeful.
