A growing number of area residents have signed onto this project because it will:
� Be open to the public for various types of recreation
� Link neighboring conservation lands and trails
� Set aside over 200 acres of prime wildlife habitat
� Protect several large deer wintering areas
� Conserve one of the highest points in New Gloucester
� Secure the heart of a large block of undeveloped land
� Open up additional conservation corridor opportunities
In July 2008 RRCT received a $266,000 grant from the Land for Maine's Future, supporting all progress to date. This important award launched our campaign and allows us to act on this once in a lifetime opportunity. We are hard at work to find local support and funding to complete this project in 2012, and to begin trail construction on key parcels during the summer of 2012 with more trail construction in future years
