The Land for Maine's Future Program
In 1987, Maine voters overwhelmingly approved a bond to purchase lands of significance for recreation and conservation. For over 30 years, LMF has successfully crossed ideologies, party lines and motivations to represent and protect the essence of Maine — yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Access
Public land access is the essence of Maine. LMF supports that legacy, securing perpetual land access statewide for recreation, farming, fishing and forestry.
Community
Maine communities rely on public land as a means to explore, to engage, to reset, and to survive. LMF exists because some places matter enough to preserve — for generations to come.
Economy
From acquisitions and easements to cooperative ventures, LMF projects are economic engines that produce measurable returns — with long-term benefits to the people of Maine.
