This total includes over 18,500 acres owned by LRCT, over 9,225 acres subject to primary conservation easements held by LRCT, and over 1,100 acres conserved through other means. These lands include 30 summits, more than 41 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. Each year LRCT works 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
