Kittery Land Trust
Hunting Policy
KLT recognizes that its fee owned lands contribute to the overall quality of life for inhabitants of and visitors to our communities. KLT is strongly committed to keeping its lands accessible to the public for traditional recreational activities including hunting, where appropriate. Hunting can help to maintain a healthy balance between a game species and the land’s ability to support it; this in turn contributes to ecological diversity and helps native plant and animal communities thrive. Therefore, KLT allows hunting on most of the land that it owns. In accordance with Maine State law, visitors to these properties may presume that hunting is permitted in the absence of boundary postings or other warnings that state otherwise. No permanent stands or structures can be erected on KLT land. All portable stands, blinds, and trail cameras must abide by Maine State laws. Any found in violation of Maine State law may be removed by KLT representatives. All stands must be removed within 5 days of close of deer hunting season.
A small number of properties are closed to hunting, either because KLT has determined that this activity may pose a risk to public safety or out of respect for the wishes of the donor of the land. These parcels are identified with signs or other warnings advising visitors that hunting is not permitted and are listed below. Note that this policy does not apply to lands which KLT holds a conservation easement, since these lands are owned by other private parties who continue to exercise control over public uses, including hunting, consistent with the terms of the easement.
