The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced a $188 million investment through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to conserve some of the most economically and ecologically significant forestlands across the nation. The completion of the Quill Hill to Perham Stream project in Western Maine was supported by an allocation of nearly $7.3 million from the Land and Water Conservation Fund through the Forest Legacy Program. Over its 33 year history, the LWCF-funded FLP has provided more than $82 million to Maine, protecting over 750,000 acres. Quill Hill to Perham Stream is the project that boosts the Forest Legacy Program to the historic milestone of 3 million acres protected throughout the US since the program began in 1990. Over $1.1 billion in state, local, and private dollars has been almost equally matched from LWCF to make this achievement possible.
