Shaping the Future
As we look ahead to 2025, we have ambitious plans to expand conservation efforts and improve access to our trails and conservation areas.
Your support as we plan for our future means the world to us. It allows us to tackle challenges head-on and seize opportunities as they arise. While we’ve celebrated our accomplishments (read our News & Events), we’re also looking forward to the important work that lies ahead.
On the Horizon
A look ahead:
-
CONSERVATION We’re currently exploring two potential land acquisitions that could significantly impact our community. We have a rare chance to conserve a true ‘Community Gem’ highlighted in the State of the High Peaks Report. Your support today will help us seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
-
ACCESS In 2025, we’re excited to launch the High Peaks Regional Recreation Corps maintaining 100+ miles of trails! This initiative will allow us to steward the Perham Stream Birding Trail and Fly Rod Crosby Trails, the Maine Huts & Trails and the Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust trail systems, and the Bigelow Reserve and High Peaks Keystones lands campsites and access points.
-
COLLABORATION We believe that we are stronger together. That’s why we’ll continue collaborating with the High Peaks Initiative, hosting community forums to create a shared vision for sustainable recreation in our beautiful region. We’re also thrilled to announce we are partnering with the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce to co-host the High Peaks Outdoor Heritage Festival, where we’ll host the 2025 Maine Moose Lottery. It’ll be an outdoor heritage experience that reflects the spirit of the High Peaks region.
