Since the Heritage Trust’s founding in 1991, over 12,800 acres of land have been conserved, including 45 miles of lake and river frontage, 15 islands and the majestic 2,443 foot Bald Mountain. We are currently engaged in an effort to fund our conservation of the scenic overlook known as “Height of Land” on Rt. 17 (views from Height of Land pictured above) and a 175 acre gem known as Hunter Cove Uplands on Rangeley Lake. . Please click on the “Donate Now” tab located at the top of this page to help conserve these natural jewel of the Rangeley Region, forever!

The Heritage Trust works with willing parties to find ways to forever conserve and provide stewardship for the scenic, natural, and historic resources of the region. The Trust can acquire land and conservation easements and fee ownership through donations or by purchase. Conservation easements are a legal land use agreement which permanently protects special features such as scenic areas, wildlife habitat, undeveloped shore frontage and productive forest lands.

The Trust maintains traditional public access and uses of the land for recreation, education, and scientific study. We offer free public access to 35 miles of recreational trails, superb recreational fishing, hunting, hiking, snowmobiling as well as multiple picnic & landing sites on our 26 separate parcels. Our Lands are FSC certified and support the protection and enhancement of the greater watershed's fisheries and the region's diverse wildlife habitat. We also offer remote and traditional camping through our social enterprise Cupsuptic Lake Park & Campground .
