Funding from three project partners in the past two weeks brings Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust close to the finish line in their campaign to permanently conserve Chapman Field and Forest, a 32-acre parcel in Damariscotta. Adjacent to Coastal Rivers’ 115-acre Salt Bay Farm property on Belvedere Road, the property includes forest, wetland, and a significant amount of farmland with excellent soils. It is because of this important farmland that Maine Farmland Trust (MFT) joined in the effort among several partners. MFT contributed to the campaign by purchasing an agricultural conservation easement on the land from Coastal Rivers last week.
