DID YOU KNOW that Maine has the lowest percentage

DID YOU KNOW that Maine has the lowest percentage of public lands among all New England States? 6.5% of Maine’s land is public land*. Wait but there’s lots of public access to land in Maine!

Yeah! But public access and public land are two different things. Public lands are owned by the government (federal, state, or local) to meet a variety of needs. The other 93.5% of Maine land is privately owned. This is where Maine’s land trust community comes in. Land trusts own and manage land for a variety of reasons- one of which is public access to the outdoors for activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, snowmobiling and more.

YOU can have a say in what land we leave available for the next generation to enjoy and learn from. Find your local land trust! Learn about what they do, how they do it, and how you can help.

Public access to the outdoors means opportunities

Public access to the outdoors means opportunities for people to explore, to play, to grow, to heal, to get that “WOW this is awesome I’m so glad I’m here” feeling. Everyone deserves to have that feeling.
