Mahoosuc Land Trust Nears Goal in Campaign for Step Falls
Step Falls Aerial View
The campaign to raise $60,000 to restore and maintain the Step Falls Preserve has gained enthusiastic support from the western Maine community. With a June 1st goal for completion, donations are arriving daily. This support is a clear indication of people’s love for this popular waterfall.
By June, contractors will begin work on an upgraded and efficient parking lot, a carefully reconstructed trail, and clear signage and boundary markings. A stewardship group of volunteers will monitor the property throughout the summer.
The Mahoosuc Land Trust is cooperating with local residents in caring for this heavily used Preserve. By establishing expectations of awareness of natural assets, family-friendly recreation, thoughtful stewardship and respect for neighboring private landowners, the Land Trust plans to protect the local treasure that is Step Falls.
Upcoming Events
