About MLT

Mahoosuc Land Trust (MLT) MLT conserves the Mahoosuc region's important natural lands with its wild and human communities, now and for the future, in western Maine and eastern Coos County, NH. The 25,000 acres MLT has protected since 1989 include Androscoggin River boat landings, waterfalls, iconic summits like Rumford Whitecap and Puzzle Mountain, working farms and forests, and dozens of miles of multi-use recreational trails. At the same time, our Habitat For All program complements traditional conservation based on the belief that by reimagining nearby nature, we can help reverse the declines in bird and insect populations while improving our mental and physical health. Together, we can make the most of our backyards, schoolyards, and porches to provide sanctuary for wildlife and humans.
