The Harpswell Heritage Land Trust exists to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of Harpswell. If you own land or a building in Harpswell that you cherish for its natural or scenic beauty, its habitat value or its history, and you would like to preserve those values for future generations of your family and/or others to enjoy, you may wish to talk with the Trust about ways of protecting your land or historic building forever. Not only can you protect a valued property in perpetuity, you may realize income tax benefits, property tax benefits and reduce your estate taxes.
