Our Mission & History

Mission

The mission of the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust is to sustain the ecological, economic, and social vitality of the Rangeley region by conserving, restoring, and stewarding its lands and waters for present and future generations. 

Vision

We envision the Rangeley region as a mosaic of interconnected, conserved, and accessible lands and waters that sustain and promote the ecological, economic and social vitality of our community.

HISTORY

Three Decades of Conservation

Since 1991, we’ve worked to conserve land that is critical to the protection of our waters, which provides recreational opportunities year-round, and enhances the outdoors heritage within the Rangeley Lakes Region.

Mark Ireland captured our work and 3 other Maine Land Trusts in his Community Conservation. 

As I look west on Mooselookmeguntic from my house, I always marvel at the beauty I see, which is land that the trust has largely conserved.”
