Location and Description:
Location: Fayette, ME
Property Description: The fifty-three-acre Bamford Woodland Conservation Area is located south of the historic Kent Cemetery. The conservation area protects valuable woodland and wetland habitats in a largely undeveloped landscape. These forests and wetlands and other nearby conservation and privately owned lands are critical habitat for black bear and moose - wildlife species with extensive home ranges.
The Bamford Conservation Area is near KLT’s Baldwin Hill, Sturtevant Scenic Area, and Hales Pond Preserve properties and is also adjacent to a popular snowmobile trail that is valued by many members of the community.
Conservation History
