Almost all of the Dead River’s shoreline will be protected after a recent acquisition of a nearby 355-acre property by a local conservation group. The Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust announced Wednesday that it purchased the swath of forest and wetlands on the river in Orland and Bucksport from the Bella family. The acquisition will preserve more than a mile of shoreline and add to the trust’s 4,500-acre Wildlands preserve on the river’s opposite shore.
