With the help of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other partners, the Nature Conservancy in Maine has added nearly 3,000 acres to the Narraguagus Forest Preserve north of Tunk Mountain. The parcel includes a variety of habitats as well as permanent protection of almost five miles of the West Branch of the Narraguagus River. TNC’s forest program director Mark Berry said the heavily forested addition is now part of 46,000 contiguous acres of conservation lands in eastern Hancock County.
