The Penobscot Nation and nonprofit Trust for Public Land announced Wednesday a plan to return nearly 30,000 forested acres in Maine back to the governance of the tribe. The land represents a portion of what was taken from them in the 1800s, and it's part of a larger effort toThe land near the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument is well forested and previously managed for industrial timber.
Loring says he's excited about stewarding wildlife habitat for bear, moose and salmon. Because of the parcel's size, elevation and biological diversity, Loring says it will also be important for mitigating the effects of climate change and will add to an existing network of conserved lands across 1.2 million acres.
Once the project is completed, the land will be transferred without a conservation easement in a way that supports Indigenous self determination. The plan also calls for creation of a"much needed" southern point of access to the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.
