Hiram, Maine resident Dan Hester is featured on page 23 of the October “AMC Outdoors” magazine for his conservation efforts on Mt. Cutler. Dan recently purchased 176 acres when development pressures started to infringe on the area. This unique mountain affords spectacular views from ledge overlooks toward Pleasant and Burnt Meadow Mountains in the Bridgton and Brownfield, as well as the village of Hiram. Dan has worked in cooperation with the Maine Chapter Trails Committee to improve and expand foot travel opportunities on the property. The future of Mount Cutler is more secure with Dan’s ownership as he plans to keep it open for public use and to perhaps eventually transfer the title to a land trust so that it will be protected forever. Thank you for your efforts, Dan!
