DescLand Conservation--The Lakes Region Conservation Trust has conserved more than 28,000 acres of land since the Organizations founding in 1979. This total includes over 18,000 acres owned by LRCT, over 8,500 acres subject to primary conservation easements held by LRCT, and over 1,100 acres conserved through other means. These lands include 29 summits, more than 40 miles of shoreline on the regions lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams, and more than 100 miles of trails open to the public for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, and certain trails open for mountain biking and snowmobiling. During 2020 LRCT worked with landowners, other conservation organizations, and local conservation commissions on dozens of land conservation projects and opportunities throughout the Lakes Region. LRCTs land conservation work is guided by the Lakes Region Strategic Conservation Plan, incorporating climate change resilience data, that provides a valuable land conservation tool for LRCT and other land conservation organizations working in the region.Desc

DescLand Management, Stewardship, and Recreation--As noted above, the Lakes Region Conservation Trust has conserved more than 28,000 acres of land since the Organizations founding in 1979. A significant part of LRCTs responsibilities is the management of more than 100 owned properties totaling over 18,000 acres and the monitoring of 54 conservation easements totaling over 8,500 acres to ensure that the conservation values of these lands are being protected and that easement restrictions and requirements are being satisfied. A particular focus of LRCTs land management work is the provision of opportunities for the public to enjoy, appreciate, and learn from the conserved lands. Consequently, the Organization devotes significant effort to stewardship of trails open to the public for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, as well as certain trails open for mountain biking and snowmobiling. In its land management and stewardship work, the Organization benefits greatly from the participation and efforts of more than 200 talented and dedicated volunteers.Desc

In this regard, LRCT maintains informational kiosks at many properties, and organizes guided hikes, guided paddles, and educational programs for the public regarding the conserved lands. In addition, LRCT works with local schools and other organizations to introduce members of the community to the conserved lands, to provide opportunities for these other organizations to integrate conserved lands into their curricula and programs, and to enhance their understanding of the Lakes Regions natural heritage and the important role of land conservation in shaping the natural landscapes cherished by residents and visitors alike.Desc
