A large tract of land that once was part of a proposed “eco-resort” next to the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park has been donated to a land trust that plans to conserve it. Ownership of 1,700 acres of forest on the north side of Route 186 in Winter Harbor was transferred to Maine Coast Heritage Trust last week. Previously, it was owned by an entity controlled by the Modena family of Italy, which had proposed developing sections of it and another 1,441 acres on the south side of Route 186 into a large-scale resort.
