An exciting announcement from PILP!

To the Peaks Island Community,

Members of the board of the Peaks Island Land Preserve are overjoyed to announce to the island community that we will be undertaking a thorough environmental study of the parcels of land that are either owned by PILP or under its protection. The study will generate a sensitive, science-based management plan for each property over the coming decade based on elements like wildlife and bird habitat, the balance of native and non-native vegetation, the protection of water resources, areas likely to be impacted by climate change or degraded from overuse or erosion. Thanks to the generosity of two island donors, research will be conducted and recommendations generated by Forrest Bell and his associates at FB Environmental (Portland) and Mohr & Seredin Landscape Architects (Peaks Island). We expect that the study will begin over the next couple of months and continue for approximately 12 to 18 months.

If you are interested in where the PILP parcels are on the island, please consult the map at the PILP website at https://www.peaksislandlandpreserve.org/  (You can find it under “places we protect”.)

Sincerely,
John Whitman
President​
