DLLT is a community-based 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2001 in Grand Lake Stream, Maine.

Our Mission Statement

The Downeast Lakes Land Trust will contribute to the long-term economic and environmental well-being of the Downeast Lakes region through the conservation and exemplary management of its forests and waters.

Farm Cove Community Forest

We manage the 33,708-acre Farm Cove Community Forest for sustainable timber production, wildlife habitat, and public recreation.  It includes 71 miles of lakeshore on eight lakes in the St. Croix and Machias River watersheds, and a 3,560-acre ecological reserve. The Forest was acquired by DLLT through the Downeast Lakes Forestry Partnership (2005) and the Wabassus Lake Project (2008).
