Mission
The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust preserves and stewards land to learn from its ecology and history, to protect and restore its diverse habitats, and to be inspired by its natural beauty. We connect people with nature through education and experience.
Community Conservation
The concept of community conservation is sweeping the country and strengthening communities. It is the practice of blending land preservation, stewardship, member engagement, along with education of natural and historical resources into one program. With this approach, the health of both people and landscapes benefit from one another.
Protected and Conserved Lands
The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust has conserved over 3,000 acres of land from development. While many of those acres are protected purely for the preservation of their ecosystems, numerous properties are open to the public for exploration and recreation.
