The Woodie Wheaton Land Trust
of Forest City, Maine

...is a Maine Corporation recognized by the United States Treasury as a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt charitable (land) trust.

Based in Forest City, Maine between East Grand Lake and Spednic Lake on the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, the Woodie Wheaton Land Trust has initiated and overseen the conservation and protection of more than a hundred miles of unspoiled shoreline in the Chiputneticook Lakes region. During the last fourteen years, we protected the natural character of many pristine islands and special places for the enjoyment of the public and developed a growing conservation ethic in our area. Our achievements are remarkable for such a small group, whose energy has come from local guides and others determined to save these unique values from the encroachment of development. Our financial support has largely come from sportsmen and sportswomen such as YOU...we are more than 340 members strong...who understand the challenge of protecting this wild landscape.

Our Mission Statement:

"To promote the protection, preservation, and conservation of land and
water in the Chiputneticook Lakes region of eastern Maine for the benefit
of the general public"

Together we have accomplished great things!

Adding to our successes along Spednic Lake and other local waters, the Woodie Wheaton Land Trust is currently pursuing a bold conservation initiative for the Upper Chiputneticook Lakes: North Lake, East Grand Lake, Deering Lake and Bracket Lake. If you have ever fished these waters, far removed from the noise and commotion of a busy world, you well know what's at stake.

You are invited to become a member of the Woodie Wheaton Land Trust, especially if you share our affection for the lakes country of eastern Maine and have a strong commitment to the conservation of wild and natural values. Membership is awarded to folks who make any contribution, large or small, and who agree with our mission to conserve the lands and waters of the Chiputneticook Lakes region. All contributions are tax-deductible. We do not bother members for annual fees, but will ask member's help when we have a project on the table. Please join us.
