A land conservation organization is launching an effort to preserve more than 100 acres of land in a region of Maine that is under increasing pressure from the real estate market. "What we're doing here is trying to preserve the traditional access that people have had to undeveloped islands in Casco Bay," says Keith Fletcher, project manager with Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Fletcher says the organization has been given a rare option to purchase three small islands in Harpswell: Little Whaleboat, Nate and Tuck.
