For Chuck, this effort is both personal and communal. It’s an opportunity to reconnect his people to lands that have nourished their communities for generations.
As Chuck explains, “We are looking at this as a significant landscape-scale restoration project, where we can let the forests heal from their previous industrial uses and focus on improving fish habitat.” |

This work is about more than just environmental restoration. It’s about honoring the balance between people and nature, the same reciprocity that Chuck learned as a boy sitting in the forest, appreciating the peace and sustenance it provided. Now, as he helps guide this historic land return, he’s ensuring that the land will again sustain his people and surrounding communities for generations.
Together with Indigenous communities like the Penobscot Nation, we’re protecting landscapes and legacies. Read more about this historic effort and our role in ensuring a future where land and culture thrive together.
Yours in conservation,
Trust for Public Land
