Our land protection priorities include:

Protecting undeveloped shorelines along Frenchman Bay and preserving access to the marine shore for local harvesters who depend on it for their livelihoods;

Conserving large, undeveloped landscapes along wild stretches of the Upper Union River and its major tributaries;

Connecting public green spaces in the Lower Union River watershed;

Increasing connected lands within the Schoodic Wildlife Corridor so that wildlife can move and migrate freely, creating a buffer bfor the Schoodic district of Acadia National Park.
