Welcome!

The Falmouth Land Trust was started in 1981 by a small group of citizens committed to protecting open space in Falmouth to help preserve the rural character of the community.  Since then, trustees have helped preserve 1028 (9/15/2010) acres of land in Falmouth, with 907 acres available for public access.  In early 2010, a small group of trustees and Falmouth citizens committed themselves to developing a trail system that runs from Portland to Cumberland, touching many of the parcels protected by the Trust’s work.  In 2011, the Falmouth Land Trust will develop and publish a map of trails in Falmouth, which will be available on this web site, and throughout the town.

Falmouth Land Trust’s mission is to:

• Permanently protect field, forest, shoreline, and wildlife lands;
• Maintain the historical character and natural beauty of Falmouth;
• Educate its citizens regarding the values of donation, stewardship, and enjoyment of protected lands.
