Land Protection Priorities

Our land protection efforts focus on areas that are essential to maintaining the ecological, social, and economic health of our region, from the Union River and Frenchman Bay watersheds east to the Hancock County line.

With your support, we’ll continue to pursue land protection projects in the Upper Union River Watershed, Lower Union River Watershed, Frenchman Bay Watershed, and the Schoodic to Schoodic Corridor. Our dedicated land protection staff are diligently identifying priority projects in response to the growing threat of climate change and development in our region. We focus on areas that protect vulnerable habitat, enhance landscape connectivity, and preserve public access for our local communities.

FBC Conserved Lands

Since 1987, FBC has conserved over 10,000 acres of land. Our land protection efforts focus on areas that are essential to maintaining the ecological, social, and economic health of our region, from the Union River and Frenchman Bay watersheds east to the Hancock County line.

FBC needs your help to compete in an increasingly fast-paced real estate market, and to boost our ability to secure protection of ecologically important large tracts of land.
