Homestead Trail Brochure


The Androscoggin Land Trust's origins come from a group of people who banded together to save over 1900 acres of river frontage in Turner. This prime land was being threatened by the possible conversion to house lots when it was put on the market by Diamond Occidental in 1987.

Over the next six years, the Land For Maine’s Future Program provided four grants to purchase the property and an additional 336-acre riverfront parcel was preserved in Leeds. Both parcels are now owned and managed by the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands.

By 1991, the Land Trust had organized as an official 501 (c)(3) private, non-profit organization. We have designed a brochure for the historically significant Homestead Trail in Turner.

In 1998 we placed our first conservation easement on the Keene – Whitman Forest in Turner and Hebron and we haven’t stopped since!
