Magalloway lands and waters: More than 78,000 acres in western Maine conserved

July 27, 2026

There are still places where mighty rivers run cold and clear, ancient mountains rise from the valley floor, forests stretch as far as the eye can see, wildlife moves freely, and people find a connection to something truly wild.

The Magalloway region is one of those places—and now, thanks to you, it is conserved for future generations. 

Together, we’ve conserved more than 78,000 acres in western Maine and connected more than half a million acres, creating a conserved, connected landscape across the Maine–New Hampshire border. In doing so, we’ve safeguarded clean water, fish and wildlife habitat, sustainable working forests, public access, and a landscape that will continue to benefit people and nature for generations to come.

This historic achievement would not have been possible without the generosity of hundreds of supporters and the extraordinary partnership of The Magalloway Collaborative partners, Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust, Forest Society of Maine, Northeast Wilderness Trust, and The Nature Conservancy.

This is a story of what can happen when people come together around a shared vision. We invite you to take a moment to watch this celebration video and share this milestone with your family and friends.

Read more about the project at our conserved lands page: Magalloway lands and waters or on magalloway.org

Thank you for helping make conservation history.
