Jane Brogan remembers riding Sancy, one of the many horses she once owned, into the vast woodlands she owned with her husband Jim, in Fayette. The longtime Fayette resident couple has now donated the 53-acre Bamford Pond Woodland Conservation Area to the Kennebec Land Trust. The conservation area protects scenic woodland and wetland habitats. The land is home to animals like deer, black bears and moose. Jane said the donation was inspired by her parents. “When my mother died in 1997, she donated 17 acres” to the Kennebec Land Trust. The land trust has conserved 7,753 acres with 58 miles of trails.
