Coastal Mountains Land Trust recently announced the year two successes of the Waldo County Conservation Initiative — an effort launched in November 2022 with the goal of conserving open space in the 12 Waldo County towns served by the Land Trust in support of wildlife conservation, recreation, outdoor learning, and climate mitigation. According to the announcement, $265,000 was raised from grants, local businesses, and members of the community to support the acquisition and stewardship of four properties. The four projects and the 11 completed in the first year of the initiative total 693 acres across nine Waldo County towns.
