MVLT recognizes the importance of your service to the agency, and the communities of the Medomak River watershed. That is why we are always working to expand the range of opportunities available to you, so that you have a variety of fun volunteer events and programs to choose from!

History:
The Medomak Valley Land Trust was established in 1991 in Waldoboro, Maine. MVLT operated as an all-volunteer organization from 1991 - 2001, and was successful in protecting more than 225 acres of land and cultivating many projects that would be completed in the following years, including the publication of "The Medomak River Watershed: A Natural Resource Inventory" in 1994. In 2001, MVLT established an office and added an executive director to oversee the direction of MVLT. In 2002 came a much needed administrative coordinator to help with secretarial work and membership information. In 2006, an AmeriCorps volunteer and a Development Specialist were added to help with the volunteer management and the MVLT funding base. Since its origins MVLT has helped protect more than 1,300 acres of land, and consistently offers the communities of the Medomak River watershed its dedication and service. MVLT is growing quickly, and could benefit from your involvement.
