Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust acquired most of the 4,500-acre Great Pond Mountain Wildlands property in East Orland on June 30, 2005, adding 200 acres in 2012/13.
The first Wildlands Campaign, completed in 2007, raised $2.86 million for purchase of the property and a Wildlands Stewardship Fund. Funding included a $346,000 grant from the Land for Maine’s Future Program.
Managed for wildlife habitat and low-impact recreation, the Wildlands is a place where you may see a moose while mountain biking, paddle along a pristine shore, or enjoy an amazing view from more than one mountain – all within minutes of Rte. 1.
