Current Conservation Campaigns

DeAngelis Family Conservation Area Stewardship Fund

The Kennebec Land Trust (KLT) is pleased to announce that we are working with the DeAngelis family to conserve 86 acres of fields, woodland, and wetlands on the Sturtevant Hill Road. The DeAngelis’s will continue to own this land which will be the future home of Tyler DeAngelis and Anne McKee, but KLT will hold a conservation easement on the land in perpetuity.

As KLT evaluated this property, we came to appreciate its many wildlife, water quality, agricultural, scenic, and recreational values. Protecting the highly valuable prime farmland soils of the hilltop fields and the Inland Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat connected to Dead Stream and Maranacook Lake are priorities for KLT. We are also inspired by the potential for public access to ski trails – a future goal for the landowner.

Howard Hill - A Trail for Everyone

The proposed Howard Hill Historical Park/Effie Berry Conservation Area Universally Accessible Trail project is a partnership led by the City of Augusta, the City of Hallowell, and The Kennebec Land Trust. Support is coming from the business community, individual donors, foundations, and state and federal funding agencies.

The trail will enable a wide variety of users, including those with mobility and visual impairments and families with young children, to experience the wooded hilltop of Howard Hill. With a scenic viewpoint overlooking the Maine State Capitol and Effie Berry Conservation Area’s field habitat, these publicly accessible conservation lands and trails will offer great benefits to central Maine communities and our visitors.
