2013 annual report - Georges River Land Trust
2013 ANNUAL REPORT FOCUSING ON THE FUTURE Alvin Chase Board President 2013 has been a year of remarkable opportunities for all of us associated with and committed to the Georges River Land Trust. I am so pleased to be able to share with you the opportunities we found, seized, and embraced to propel the Trust forward, again. Never in my tenure of Board service have I seen such passion and commitment from so many of you. My heartfelt thanks to you all. By the time you read this letter the lengthy and rewarding process of Accreditation will be nearly finished. This process has been painstaking, and deliberate. It has strengthened our governance, our commitment, and our understanding of what the stewardship of our watershed in perpetuity really involves. We have developed a deepened commitment at the leadership level to expand our thinking to include much greater access and promotion of your outdoor experience in the watershed. You will soon see encouragement from us to enjoy the trails and the river in much more creative and engaging ways. Please take advantage of these increased opportunities; for you, your friends, and your families. I hope you have heard about the Land Trust’s collaboration with Colby College and the Kohler Foundation to permanently protect the Bernard Langlais estate in Cushing. The conservation of several large and unique Langlais sculptures will soon be complete and ready for public view. In the meantime, visit our website for a sneak peek; we’ve posted a short film produced by friends to tell the first part of the story. I encourage you to see the film, and become part of the rest of the story. The Trust and its members worked diligently to protect the Anderson Farm in South Thomaston, as part of our Bridging Two Rivers Project. This farm added 200 acres to our conservation portfolio and complements our prior successes at the Riverview Hayfields Preserve and Paulsen easements. Finally, let me thank you for your tremendous financial support. In 2013, our membership was generous like never before. We surpassed many of our fundraising goals and have created a momentum that the Board and staff promise to maintain and increase. It’s a fantastic time to be involved in the work of the Land Trust; there is so much going on! Excitement and energy abound. I ask that you engage yourself even more in 2014. This year, please commit to hike a new trail, paddle a new stretch of river, volunteer as a committee member, visit the Garden Tour, picnic on a preserve, and attend a Revelry event. See what I mean? Join us in the many opportunities to discover the river and care for the land. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased, not impaired, in value. Theodore Roosevelt C O N S E R V A T I O N I N T H E WA T E R S H E D Annette Naegel Conservation Program Manager One family, who has spent generations in the area originating as Finnish farmers in South Thomaston, worked with the Georges River Land Trust to conserve two key parcels of land strategically located in conservation focus areas of the Land Trust. The Anderson family had their principal 200-acre homestead on River Road in South Thomaston (Route 131), next door to the Paulsen easement and the Riverview Hayfields Preserve. The heirs also owned 100 acres of woodland and fields on the Oyster River Road in Warren, next door to the Oyster River Winery (an agricultural easement held by the Land Trust). While many of the family members are no longer living in the midcoast, they left a strong mark on the land and in these communities. These large parcels of land on the Georges River and the Weskeag Marsh have been left intact, not subdivided or developed for more than 100 years, which allowed the Land Trust to continue the legacy through permanent conservation. Now the community has an additional 300 acres in conservation, which protect significant habitat and historic features, and provide unique public access opportunities. The 200 acre addition to the Riverview Hayfields Preserve in South Thomaston commands prominent views of the area with productive fields and woodlands that were viewed by Issac Anderson, who immigrated to this area in 1892, to be worthy of his purchase. Some of this land was managed as farmland for dairy cattle, and the rest supported the farm when they needed wood. In addition to the land’s prior use as a farm, the extensive woodlands, buffer along the Weskeag Marsh and wetlands provide ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife. The land abuts the State R. Waldo Tyler Management Area which has some of the highest diversity of species of any marsh in the midcoast region. One of the original family offspring settled in the nearby river town of Warren, now the new Trolley Marsh Preserve. This 100-acre property was also farmed for blueberries and otherwise left as woodland to support the family whose home was across the street. Today the Preserve protects the spartina marsh of the Georges River, a young hardwood forest, open fields as well as the remains of the old trolley line that ran from Warren to Camden in the beginning of the last century. The Land Trust is very pleased with these recent acquisitions that will also provide new opportunities for the public to explore these richly diverse lands. They are actually testaments to our shared vision for lands that are accessible to the public and provide venues for experiencing history, nature and recreation. It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. Robert Louis Stevenson S T E WA R D S H I P A N D T R A I L S Jay Astle Stewardship Program Manager By the end of 2013, the total number of acres protected by the Land Trust was 3,321 acres and 54 properties. The management of these properties differs greatly depending on whether we own the property or hold a conservation easement on it. This past year, we completed the management plans for our Trolley Marsh Preserve (Warren) and Cross Cushing Nature Preserve (Cushing). All of our fee-owned properties now have detailed management plans that focus on protecting the natural resources and guidelines for allowing public access. For the first time ever, we have made all of our preserve and trail maps available on our website. This will make it even easier for members of our community to seek out fun and exciting locations to visit with family and friends. The 40-mile Georges Highland Path, our signature trail system, continues to grow. Construction continued on two new trails that are due to open in 2014. The three-mile Ridge to River Trail in Searsmont connects our Gibson Preserve to the Canal Path at Robbins Lumber. The trail travels through the “wilderness loop” section of the Georges River watershed and carries visitors up and over Appleton Ridge with its stunning views of the lower river valley. The new two-mile Jones Brook Trail in St. George will connect the town forest (Kinney Woods) to the historic Fort Point. The trail route is a relatively flat walk through mature softwood and regenerating hardwood forests. This trail is a partnership between the Land Trust and the St. George Conservation Commission. The largest infrastructure project in 2013 was the construction of a new 400-foot-long raised pedestrian boardwalk along the Thomaston Town Forest Trail. This boardwalk replaces old bog-bridges that no longer functioned well because they were mostly under water. Maintenance of our trails requires a significant investment of time and effort, and we could not do it without the assistance of volunteers. In particular, the Tanglewood 4-H campers spent a day helping us improve the safety of several stream crossings on our Thorndike Brook Trail in Rockport. Not to be outdone, the Youthlinks after-school program kids performed a variety of trail clearing tasks along the Thomaston Town Forest Trail. As in many countries metals belong to the crown, so here more precious natural objects of rare beauty should belong to the public.
