Pete and Marjorie Lovejoy look out from their home onto the same forested property where Pete’s father had 15 cattle in the middle of the 20th century. Pete and Marjorie said they hope that work can be done in the coming years to conserve forests and wetlands in the area, with a particular focus on keeping parcels of land together and large scale development at bay. In a time when some people may want to move from bigger cities and come “back to the land,” it will be important to make sure that the areas that define this region are protected. ~ Jonah Raether, Kennebec Land Trust intern
