The Woodie Wheaton Land Trust has been protecting lands and waters in Washington County for almost 30 years. The trust has “played a key role, both independently and in partnerships, in the conservation of over 330,000 acres of eastern Maine land and 96 miles of river and lake shore through purchases and conservation easements,” Madison Shaw, WWLT’s office manager, said. “The trust itself owns eight properties and one conservation easement, totaling 3,955 acres.” The East Grand Highlands Hiking Trails system is comprised of three connected pathways totaling about 6 miles of hiking. Overlook Trail leads to a fabulous viewing platform on Greenland Ridge which looks out over East Grand Lake. ~ Carey Kish
