Galley Family Land, Tannery Brook, North Ellsworth, ME - Donated in July 2019

We established our land trust program in 1990 as a way to address a growing need to conserve working forests in Maine. Our program is unique as we only accept lands and conservation easements where active forest management is allowed. All of our properties are certified by an internationally recognized third-party system and enrolled in Maine’s Tree Growth or Open Space Tax programs. We believe in continuing to support local communities where we own land.
