Our Mission...

COLLABORATING FOR THE FUTURE

We work with our neighbors, towns, and like-minded organizations to protect and preserve the ecosystems of the Kezar Lake, Kezar River, and Cold River watersheds for the benefit and enjoyment of the natural and human community today and as a legacy for the future.

The Greater Lovell Land Trust is a donor-supported organization.

Please help sustain our work, our communities, and the region’s natural beauty!

Underplanting for Resilience

This spring, GLLT planted 250 Red Spruce seedlings in response to the growing threat of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, which is expected to significantly impact our Eastern Hemlock forests in the coming years. Join Executive Director Erika Rowland on a guided hike to visit the recent plantings and learn about the vital role of Red Spruce in building a climate-resilient forest.
This easy, 1.5-mile hike follows relatively flat terrain and offers a chance to see restoration in action.  Program is free but registration is requested.

Take A Walk

Many of our properties are open to the public and offer a variety of developed trails for all abilities and interests—easy ambles, challenging hikes, beautiful vistas and fascinating and unusual plants and animals.

Lands in conservation easement are private property, as is much of the abutting land to the GLLT properties. Owners have the right to restrict use.

PLEASE RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS.

Our properties are open to hunting!

Nearly all of our reserves and preserves are open to hunting, subject to Maine state regulations. While there are hunting seasons throughout the year, the fall is particularly active.

NOTE: CELL SERVICE IS LIMITED THROUGH THE GREATER LOVELL AREA. BE SURE TO LET SOMEONE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, HOW FAR YOU PLAN TO GO, AND WHEN YOU EXPECT TO RETURN.
