On March 15, 1820, Maine entered the Union as the 23rd state. Delegates to the Maine state constitutional convention had met in October 1819 and used the Massachusetts constitution of 1780 as their model, yet they modified it on several important matters.
Maine’s constitution prohibited state support for any religious group, which stood in contrast to the tax-supported Congregational Church in Massachusetts. It allowed men of European and African descent the right to vote regardless of their ability to own property. Yet, it denied voting rights to “untaxed Indians” living on reservation lands.
As a general rule we donate about 30% or more to organizations in Maine that help support local communities.
We currently donate general funds to the Natural Resources Council of Maine, the Good Shephard Food Bank (Feeding America) & other various local organizations.

Community Land Trust
Serving Local Maine Communities
Our Goal :
To start a nonprofit organization to hold land in perpetual trust for the permanent use of local Maine communities along the branches of the Dead River.
Our Mission :
To provide access to land, housing, education and other resources so people in Maine can grow food in environmentally sustainable ways, live comfortably with dignity and create community systems where locally produced foods, healthy lifestyles and affordable housing are available to all.
The West Forks in Maine is where the Dead River and the Kennebec River meet, and this intersection of two powerful rivers has created one of the best areas for whitewater rafting in the region. Situated along the Old Canada Road National Scenic Byway, The West Forks is also in the heart of Maine’s premiere snowmobiling country and provides easy access to Maine’s interconnected trail system (ITS), which has hundreds of miles of well-marked trails through the wilderness, perfect for wildlife watching and enjoying the gorgeous scenery.
