Over the course of four generations, the Bessey Family has acquired and managed their forest holdings in central Maine. Through this project, over 20,000 acres of Acadian forests will be protected under ACR’s Improved Forest Management protocol. Mature and diverse softwood and hardwood trees abide across the forestland and are American Tree Farm System certified—meeting high standards for sustainability.
