Protecting Lands
Western Foothills Land Trust protects farmlands, wetlands, forestlands, unique natural resources and open space in the greater Oxford Hills area of Western Maine. The Trust also holds conservation easements on privately owned lands and owns working forest lands and preserves in the region. We provide miles of recreation trails for hiking, biking, Nordic skiing, among other activities.
Connecting Community
From guided walks to seasonal activities like paddling excursions and ski clinics, we offer a wide range of programs designed to help people of all ages and abilities connect with the outdoors. Our events celebrate the beauty of western Maine’s landscapes, including annual community traditions like the Snowshoe Festival in February and the Norway Triathlon in July.
