The Mahoosuc Land Trust has received grants from two state of New Hampshire programs to acquire the 853-acre Shelburne Riverlands. A $125,000 grant from the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program and a $761,668 grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Aquatic Resource Mitigation Program were recently announced. With additional support from dozens of individuals and foundations, MLT hopes to close on the purchase early in 2021. The Riverlands will permanently conserve 22 islands and 12 mainland parcels along an 8.7-mile stretch of the Androscoggin River.
