We know that time spent in nature is key to improving physical and mental health. Over 40 years ago, dedicated residents formed the Falmouth Land Trust and began preserving green space just to the north of Maine's largest city—providing places to disconnect from technology and reconnect to the natural world.
Today, the Falmouth Land Trust stewards over 1,500 acres of land and many of the 55+ miles of trails in the town. The Trust hosts free monthly nature hikes open to all and works with school and community groups promoting environmental education and stewardship.
Falmouth Land Trust operates Hurricane Valley Farm in North Falmouth and partners with Cultivating Community which uses part of the property to provide farming, education, and community agriculture to residents, new Americans, and the Greater Portland area.
Our partnership with Martin’s Point is founded on the shared belief that our health and our environment’s health are inextricably tied. Martin's Point helps the Falmouth Land Trust protect local forests, streams, and other natural resources—preserving the clean air and water that are key to the health of our communities. Martin's Point employees attend our events and volunteer on our trails—we are so fortunate to count them as a real partner in our work to conserve land and connect people to nature.
