Since the founding of the DRLT in 2000, the Land Trust has completed or is actively involved in 30 habitat protection and recreational access projects. The results of this work have been permanent protection through fee purchase and easement of over 2000 acres of land, including several miles of stream and river frontage in the Narraguagus, Pleasant, and Machias River watersheds. This protection includes land adjacent to critical salmon rearing and spawning habitat, important cold water refugia for salmon and trout, three public river access points, two traditional salmon fishing pools, three canoe portage trails (one on each river), two important pre-historic archeological sites, and two camp sites. For more information you can download our newsletter from our front page and check out some projects in the Habitat Access and Protection section of this site. The Land Trust continues to develop new projects within our focus area and is always open to new project ideas, new members, and financial support. For more information contact Dwayne Shaw, Executive Director (207) 483-4336 or info@mainesalmonrivers.org.
