According to the Bangor Daily News, a coveted tract of land stretching from Moosehead Lake to Baxter State Park has been placed under permanent protection from development. The Appalachian Mountain Club purchased nearly 30,000 acres of land along 20 miles of the Appalachian Trail and The Nature Conservancy purchased 15,000 acres of the Moose River Landscape. With the deal, more than 650,000 contiguous acres are protected between Moosehead Lake and the northernmost section of Baxter State Park.
The easements will be held by the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands.
