Conservation NEW ENGLAND Land Protection Across New England 4 ECOPHOTOGRAPHY SPRING 2021

Left: White-tailed deer in the fog on land conserved by the Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy. Land conservation efforts are alive and well during the pandemic. Despite the pandemic, conservation organizations have been hard at work conserving farms and forests across New England. During the past year, I have shot projects from western Connecticut to far northern Maine for local land trusts, statewide land trusts, and national organizations. These projects conserved farms, recreation access, wildlife habitat and working forests. Close to my home in New Hampshire, I continued working with the Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire (SELT), who completed two big projects adjacent to Merrymeeting Lake. Despite being ringed by summer homes, Merrymeeting Lake has the cleanest water of any lake in the state, and by protecting several thousand acres of forest above the lake, SELT is helping to insure that water quality. As a bonus there are some great hiking and mountain biking trails in their new preserves. By far, the biggest tracts of land that I worked on were in northern Maine, where projects I photographed for The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and the Forest Society of Maine totalled close to 50,000 acres in size.
