The Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust, The Nature Conservancy in Maine and the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands announced today that 2,706 acres have been added to the Mount Abraham Public Reserve Land managed by the State of Maine. Created through the acquisition of multiple properties, the “Keystones project” holds the larger landscape together, playing a critical role in preventing development and fragmentation while ensuring public access.
