Loon Echo Land Trust collaborated with the towns of Denmark, Bridgton and Sebago to protect the 1600-acre Perley Mills property in order to create a community forest. The land is owned and managed by the Town of Denmark and the Town of Sebago, with conservation easements held by LELT.
The property contains three miles of the Narrow Gauge Trail, a state ITS 89 snowmobile and regional ATV network, as well as Pickerel Pond and Willett Pond.
With many important ecological, recreational and economic features, protecting this parcel as public open space and managed forestland is an asset to the surrounding communities.
