PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 16, 2023
An exceedingly rare opportunity has arisen to conserve a large undeveloped, contiguous forested parcel within the town of Greenville. The Scammon Ridge Headwaters Project spans a ridge between Lower Wilson Pond in the Penobscot River watershed and Prong Pond in the Kennebec River watershed. The project will permanently conserve 3,000 acres, including nearly two miles of shoreline on Prong Pond and the entire shoreline of Little Mud Pond. A permanent conservation easement will allow careful forest management to continue and since the land will remain privately owned, the property will remain on the local tax rolls. ~ Karin R.
