Panel Discussion with the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust and the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust | Mountain Voices

The MWM is hosting hosting a panel discussion featuring our director, Meghan Doherty, along with Jen Pribble and Mike Morin from the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust and Rick Walling and David Falkenham from the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust.

Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust

Through building lasting relationships in the community, ACT seeks to maintain and improve recreational opportunities, scenic beauty, biodiversity, and cultural heritage through protected lands in the North Country.

Intensified development pressure makes conservation of these last-of-the-wild-places in NH critical. ACT offers landowners in Grafton and Coös Counties options to save those lands which residents indicate are important to protect for future generations.

Upper Saco Valley Land Trust

Their mission is to preserve the ecological systems and cultural values of the Upper Saco River Valley. They provide for the continued well-being and availability of land for farming, forestry, recreation, and education, as well as for land remaining in its natural state, benefiting natural and human communities.

They seek to achieve their mission through the forging and fostering of partnerships for land conservation, and through respectful stewardship, while being mindful of their heritage, their place, and their vision and responsibility for the future.

They conserve lands for farming, forestry, public recreation, scenic enjoyment and wildlife habitat. They protect these resources primarily through the use of conservation easements, which are non-development agreements granted in perpetuity by private landowners to qualified organizations such as USVLT. Beyond holding conservation easements, USVLT also owns several lands “in fee” within our 11-town service area. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE about land conservation nuts and bolts.
