Why BRLT supports the Boothbay Region Clean Drinking Water Initiative
Boothbay Region Land Trust (BRLT) is an organization with a mission to conserve land for the public benefit. We accomplish our mission through land acquisition, environmental education, and responsible stewardship.

The Board of Directors and staff of BRLT feel very strongly that being part of a collaboration working towards the preservation of clean drinking water is important.
