Downeast Coastal Conservancy
Who We Are
Downeast Coastal Conservancy (DCC) is a land trust based in Machias, Maine. DCC maintains preserves and works cooperatively with land owners to protect other land in coastal Washington County from Steuben to Lubec and up to Calais and Route 9. This area is part of the last frontier on the Northeast coast of peaceful, untrammeled beauty, including forests, woodlands, wetlands, islands, salt marshes, clam flats, fishing villages and working waterfronts. Downeast Coastal Conservancy is a membership organization whose mission is the conservation of natural habitats and resources of the coastal watersheds, islands and communities of Washington County, Maine, for present and future generations. Downeast Coastal Conservancy was formed in 2009 through the merger of Great Auk Land Trust and Quoddy Regional Land Trust, Downeast Coastal Conservancy brought together two successful land trusts, each with over twenty years of conservation into a single, stronger organization.
