Column: : Land trust seeks to preserve popular trails in Fryeburg

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • October 23, 2022

Jockey Cap in Fryeburg is one of the most climbed little mountains in Maine, with a big bang for the buck, so to speak, similar in nature to Bradbury Mountain but with a broader, bolder vista. Jockey Cap is the latest conservation project of the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust, which over its 22-year history has protected over 13,000 acres in the watershed on both sides of the state line. “After the purchase is complete, USVLT will then transfer ownership to the town, while we will hold the conservation easement,” said Abby King, USVLT’s conservation director. ~ Carey Kish
