Three Rivers Land Trust – Inland York County, Maine

We build reciprocal relationships to land through conservation, recreation, and education.

Welcome!

Three Rivers Land Trust is a member-supported organization focused on conservation, recreation, and education in our five town service area of Acton, Alfred, Lebanon, Sanford/Springvale, and Shapleigh. Since 2000, we have conserved almost 4,000 acres through conservation easements and purchases, and have built trails at nine preserves, including two wheelchair accessible trails (Goat Hill in Acton and the Sanford Community Forest All Persons Nature Trail), and protected farmland, forests, and wetlands for the future.

Watch the video put together by our 2022 Richard G. Rockefeller Conservation Internship Program intern Jen Clifford to learn about the ways our members are making a difference in our communities!
