IRS990/Desc0Land ProtectionWe work with landowners who wish to protect their lands from development and preserve them for future generations to create unique, Commons-based pathways to conserving their lands in perpetuity through community land trust ownership. We simultaneously create affordable rural land tenure by matching this land to younger land stewards who will care for it in the future. In particular, we work with land seekers from communities that historically and presently are excluded from land ownership due to colonialism, white supremacy, and class injustice. By Land in Common owning the land, and residents owning their own homes, we can offer lifelong security on land, at a much lower than market cost.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Land StewardshipLand in Common holds in trust and stewards nearly 400 acres of rural land in Maine, for the purposes of creating rural affordable housing, promoting land-based solidarity economies, and fostering ecological integrity. The land supports two cooperative farms, Wild Mountain Cooperative, which grows subsistence produce, and Celebration Tree Farm and Wellness Center, which produces christmas trees grown in a community supported forest. The land also supports a community food security garden where all produce grown is distributed for free to residents of Portland and Lewiston who lack access to healthy and affordable food. Seventy-five acres are set aside for rural affordable housing, providing low cost homes for 10 residents of Wild Mountain Cooperative Farm. Finally, acres of forest land and wetland are preserved as wildlands, for animal, fungi, and plant habitat.
