in Franklin County, Maine.
We support the grass roots High Peaks Alliance and their idea of forging a multi-use plan to preserve and utilize through public and private co-operation, the Saddleback, Mt. Abram, Caribou Valley Back Country.
This could serve as a way to connect the Bigelows, Mt. Blue/Tumbledown and Rangeley into a world class nature tourism destination.
The Sandy River Land Trust is a local land trust that is working as an agent for the High Peaks Alliance.
In describing our community's resource base for the future we need to consider how it must be many years from now if it is to sustain us and the quality of life we want.
We have provided free wireless internet access at the Phillips Library.
Our region contains 10 of Maine's 14 highest peaks over 4000 feet. The valleys and peaks need conservation activity to preserve this sensitive unfragmented wild life area for future generations of residents and visitors. To tell us how you might help us achieve our efforts please contact us with your information.
We salute the Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust for their activities to Protect Mt. Abram and the Saddleback jr., Horn, Saddleback south side. This effort could lead the way to sustainability for our High Peak Region. There is an Ecological Study of this Western Maine Mountain area , by Peter McKinley PHD , available for those interested and contributions are welcome. matlt.org
