Mt. Agamenticus: Foundation of a Living Coastal Landscape

NATURAL RESOURCES COUNCIL OF MAINE • July 1, 2026

Mt. Agamenticus (Mt. A) in York crowns a singular, treasured locale. It’s the centerpiece of the 10,000-acre namesake Conservation Region that is located within an additional 30,000-acre expanse of conservation land in southern Maine. This preservation movement serves as a shining example of how like-minded individuals, along with conservation and environmental organizations, raise awareness, and galvanize landowners and the public about the crucial importance of saving and protecting extraordinary landscapes brimming with life. It’s a campaign that’s required—and continues to require—the concerted efforts of state, local, and federal conservation groups and environmental organizations under the aegis of the Mt. Agamenticus to the Sea Conservation Initiative, mta2c.org.
