We are thrilled and honored to announce that Writing the Land, a collaboration between poets and protected lands, has featured our organization in their next edition Writing the Land: Maine.

Last week the DCC Stewardship Team, MITA, and several volunteers came together for a morning’s adventure to collect ocean-borne trash from DCC’s South Addison Islands.

On a gray day of impending drizzle, a small group of stalwart volunteers and Downeast Coastal Conservancy stewards gathered to work on the Money Island trail at the western edge of the Machias River Preserve.

We have teamed up with Washington County 4-H to host a Nature in Focus Spin Club. Join us to explore the outdoors through photography, environmental education, outdoor recreation, and creative expression!

Downeast Coastal Conservancy is pleased to announce the appointment of its new Executive Director, Colin Brown. He will begin his new position on July 18th, 2022.

Please join DCC for our Annual Meeting & Picnic! Featuring guest speaker Mac Hunter with a presentation of “Biodiversity and the critical role of land trusts”.

Once again we are hosting an Online Silent Auction as a fundraiser to support the conservation and public access of our preserves!

This summer, we are hosting Forest Camp at the Machias River Preserve for youth ages 10-13. Campers will be able to explore and learn about the forest ecosystem through hands-on activities and games.

We are looking for an energetic, forward-looking individual with experience in organizational development and fundraising who can grow the organization and help achieve our vision of a healthy community working together as stewards of our natural lands and waters.
