Founded in 1987, the Chebeague and Cumberland Land Trust has worked to protect vital natural resources in the Towns of Chebeague and Cumberland including shoreline, nesting islands, wildlife habitat, wetlands, woodlands, and farm land. To date, the Trust has under its protection fifteen properties-eight on the mainland and seven in Casco Bay.
July 2007: The secession of Chebeague from Cumberland causes the Trust to re-confirm its joint partnership between the island and the mainland under the new name Chebeague & Cumberland Land Trust
