Frenchman Bay Conservancy

Frenchman Bay Conservancy is a nationally accredited nonprofit land conservation organization. Now in our 38th year of operation, we have protected over 18,000 acres through conservation easements or FBC-owned preserves across the Frenchman Bay and Union River Watersheds, east to the Hancock County Line. Our conserved lands protect a broad variety of ecosystems and traditional land uses, including forest, wetlands, coastline, mountains, an organic farm, a working woodlot, blueberry fields, and waterfront along a wild and scenic river. Frenchman Bay Conservancy maintains more than 40 miles of year-round public access hiking trails for nature observation, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and hunting. We protect access for the public to enjoy scenic vistas, sandy beaches, rocky coastlines and mudflats for recreation and commercial access including clam and worm harvesting.
