Wabassus Lake Project
DLLT is working to add 6,644 acres on the
Machias and St. Croix River watershed boundary
to the Farm Cove Community Forest. This is a
spectacular forest property with almost 9 miles
of lakeshore, 6 miles of streams, scenic
hillslope forests, wildlife habitats, wetlands,
public access roads, and the ITS 84 snowmobile
trail.
The Wabassus Lake Project Committee is working
to raise $3.2 million to acquire the Wabassus
Lake Tract and permanently protect its natural
resources and public values.

Downeast Lakes Forestry Partnership
Acquisition of the Farm Cove Community Forest and the Sunrise
Easement was made possible through the Downeast Lakes Forestry

Trust, New England Forestry Foundation, and Woodie Wheaton Land
Trust to conserve 342,000 acres of forestland and more than 445
miles of lakeshore plus 1500 miles of river and stream
shoreline.
Everyone who has given to this project—foundations, government,
and individuals – is a part of this accomplishment.
