Kennebec Land Trust to dedicate three new conservation areas

CENTRAL MAINE • August 10, 2025

June Roullard and Joe Baltar donated a 56-acre lot, now named the Eaton Mountain Conservation Area, to the Kennebec Land Trust in March. An official dedication of Roullard’s 74 Kimball Pond Road property and optional guided hike will kick off the Land Trust’s annual celebration Monday. Members of the public are welcome; the Kennebec Land Trust’s 8,191 acres are preserved not just for wildlife habitat but for public access. Two other properties will also be a part of the two-day celebration: a 56-acre lot along Parker Pond in Mount Vernon and a 56-acre conservation easement in South Gardiner. Another soon-to-be donated property, an 86-acre farm on Sturtevant Hill Road in Readfield, will host an event at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
