I have followed MCHT's work in Maine for more than 30 years. In addition to conserving tens of thousands of ecologically significant and spectacularly beautiful lands along the Maine coast, MCHT also supports the 80+ local land trusts across the state offering training, networking opportunities, representation in front of state and federal governments, a revolving loan fund and other services. MCHT has been a leader of the land trust community for decades. In recent years, MCHT has led the way in promoting the integration of ecological and human community interests to advance a truly sustainable world.

Review from Guidestar
Bad neighbor. They seem to not preserve land as much as they develop it or use it for their own gain. I have suffered property damage from people visiting one of their "preserves" coming on to my property. A friendly request for a "private" sign was not acceptable to MCHT. They never responded after a few attempts.
