About Our Land Trust

Our Mission

Crabtree Neck Land Trust (CNLT) was founded in 2005 to conserve land on and near Crabtree Neck, Hancock, Maine. Our mission is to preserve land that provides essential wildlife habitat and corridors, scenic view-sheds, and open spaces in this coastal area; to engage with the community in building strong connections with the land; and to provide public access to these conserved properties whenever possible.

CNLT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land conservancy based in Maine. We are funded by the tax-deductible charitable contributions of our supporters and various grants. Our all-volunteer board governs the land trust.

Our Goals

Specific goals direct us in fulfilling Crabtree Neck Land Trust’s mission:

  • Identifying and conserving significant lands on the Crabtree Neck Peninsula and surrounding areas by donation, purchase, or conservation easements
  • Increasing existing conservation areas on the Crabtree Neck Peninsula
  • Monitoring preserves and easements for climate resiliency and habitat diversity, and engaging in active stewardship of the land and trails 
  • Serving as an educational resource for those interested in fostering their appreciation and understanding of conservation and the local environment
  • Connecting with community members and partners to advance local initiatives around climate change and climate resiliency
  • Fundraising and managing the Trust’s work in a fiscally responsible manner

CNLT and Climate Change: A Guiding Principle

CNLT recognizes the significant impact climate change is having in our area and around the world. We are committed to focusing on climate resiliency in all that we do: land conservation, stewardship, access and education. It is through these actions that we believe we can make a crucial difference in preserving the health and vitality of the Crabtree Neck Peninsula and in enhancing connections between the land and the community in ways that benefit us all.
