Coastal Mountains Land Trust was founded in 1986 by a small group of citizens intent upon preservation of Beech Hill in Rockport, a 572-acre property featuring critical scenic and ecological values–rolling blueberry barrens, forests, a historic stone house, and the most scenically unique summit of the Camden Hills. A limited development conservation easement was designed to protect this important landmark of the western Penobscot Bay landscape, a very prominent launch for their land conservation program. They permanently conserve land to benefit the natural and human communities of western Penobscot Bay.

Coastal Mountains Land Trust serves the communities of the western Penobscot Bay region. As outlined in the map, their service area includes either portions of or the entirety of 15 towns including Belfast, Belmont, Brooks, Camden, Hope, Knox, Monroe, Morrill, Northport, Lincolnville, Rockport, Searsport, Stockton Springs, Swanville and Waldo.
