Vision

Kennebunkport Conservation Trust envisions a future where every member of our community can experience comfort, joy, and moments of wonder through time spent on the land and in nature; where people share a connection to our lands and take pride in protecting these irreplaceable natural resources; where Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, and Arundel work collaboratively to preserve wildlife habitat and cherished open spaces; where KCT has the resources, expertise, and people needed to steward its lands using best conservation practices; where our regional landscape and seascape lead the way in climate resilience, benefiting communities far beyond our region; where public policies support innovative solutions to address climate change impacts on natural and built environments; where archaeological research deepens understanding of the region’s long human history; and where the three towns collaborate to enrich learners of all ages through shared knowledge of local history, geology, and ecology.
