Community Conservation Survey

What matters most when it comes to conserving the lands and waters of the Rangeley Lakes Region? What should we prioritize in the years ahead?

 

We’ve launched a Community Conservation Survey to gather feedback. Your input will help us better understand community conservation priorities, improve communication, and thoughtfully plan for the years ahead.

 

The survey will remain open until April 13. It takes just 3-5 minutes to complete, and you could win a photobook and a $100 gift card!

In Memoriam | Randy Targett

It is with deep sadness that we share the unexpected passing of Randy Targett. Many knew Randy, alongside his wife Heather, as the dedicated co-managers of RLHT’s Cupsuptic Lake Park and Campground, a role they embraced with care and pride since October 2010. Together, they helped shape CLPC into the welcoming, family-centered campground that so many have come to cherish. Randy’s presence will be deeply missed—on the shores of Cupsuptic Lake, within the RLHT community, and by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Read more about Randy’s life and legacy >>

In Memoriam | Ed Kfoury

Our founder, colleague, and friend, Ed Kfoury, passed away early on Wednesday, May 18, at his winter home on Sanibel Island, Florida.

 

Ed was a force of nature. He was a powerful advocate and agent for conservation in the Rangeley Region and across the State of Maine, founding the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust in 1991 with friends who understood the urgency of conserving the Rangeley Region. His passion, tenacity, and ability to connect with and motivate people helped launch Maine’s current era of conservation. He was active and engaging till the very end. 

 

Each of us is unique and irreplaceable, but clearly, we will never see his like again. Together, we can do our best to build upon the foundation he laid.

 

We will be planning a celebration of his contributions to the Trust and the region in the coming weeks and months and look forward to honoring his legacy together.
