2019 Membership & Community Support

You make this vital work possible.

It’s been 30 years of protecting the lands and waters you love! In 1989, KELT was founded by a handful of committed community members looking to conserve the wild, scenic beauty of the Kennebec Estuary. Today, our members…individuals, families, businesses, and foundations…are the reason we continue to be successful. We are deeply grateful for your support!
