Mission

Land in Common's mission is to create and sustain a multi-generational land base for sustainable livelihoods that supports diverse communities working for just, cooperative, and resilient futures in Maine. We enact land justice through grassroots community education and organizing, and by removing land from speculative markets and placing it into our member-run trust, to be cared for over the long-term by its residents and the wider community. Recognizing the deep inequities in land ownership, we strive to create secure access to life-sustaining land for people and communities who experience exclusion from land ownership due to economic and racial injustice.
