The Forest Society of Maine (FSM) is a statewide, Maine-based, nonprofit land trust focused on working forestlands, with a special emphasis on conservation and stewardship of large tracts in the North Maine Woods. FSM fills a unique niche by providing a balanced approach to conserving the special nature of Maine’s working forestlands. The organization develops land conservation programs that will sustain the land’s ecological, economic, cultural, and recreational values. This is done with the full involvement of forestland owners and has garnered strong credibility in the forestry and conservation communities. To reflect this multi-faceted approach to land conservation, FSM maintains a diversity of board members with forestry, conservation, and business backgrounds.
