2010: KCT’s Year
in Review
“The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust is dedicated to
preserving land in conservation for use by all people of
current and future generations and to provide preservation
and maintenance of properties that reflect on the heritage
of Kennebunkport.”
2010 was a year in which the mission statement of the
Kennebunkport Conservation Trust was well served,
for in no previous year has so much been done in so
many different areas to fulfill its objectives. The underlying foundation of the KCT is land protection, and a
limited and well defined list of properties we hope to
conserve has been created to accomplish the Trust‟s
goals. Most of these properties serve to connect or
enhance existing holdings. Last year saw five of these
pieces protected. A bargain sale purchase of a piece of
land owned by Scott and Kate Eaton, bordering Tyler
Brook on the ocean side of the Mills Road, protected a
beautiful view shed. Across the street, the Trust made
another bargain sale purchase of a 13.5 acre lot owned
by Don and Luverne Preble Tinkham which has frontage on the Batson River. Together these properties
will help to maintain the appearance of the Mills Road
between Cape Porpoise and Goose Rocks Beach.
In the central woods just above Cape Porpoise square,
the Trust purchased the 31 acre Lynch property. It
connects to our Tyler Brook holdings and will provide
a wonderful space for wildlife habitat and passive recreation. At the head of our Jim and Agnes Steele trail
is the 25.8 acres King property. This was purchased
for $100,000 during the year, and contained enough
valuable habitat to receive a $75,000 state protection
grant.
At the end of the year, the Trust was delighted to
receive a 14.6 acre piece of land near Mast Cove, the
very generous gift of David and Lisanne James. This
wooded parcel located between School Street and
North Street not only helps to protect the look and
feel of the downtown section of Kennebunkport, it
also offers the opportunity to create a learning trail
between the Consolidated School and our Grist Mill
property. It is a wonderful piece of protection forour
community for which we are very grateful!
Goat Island Update
For those holdings that reflect the heritage of our
A Gift For All Who
Love Kennebunkport
David and Lisanne James generously donated 14.6 acres to
the Trust in December. The property will help to forever
preserve the look and feel of the Dock Square area.

community, the Trust has taken the position that we should bring and maintain
them to the period of their greatest historic significance. On that basis, after years
of diligent work led by Scott Dombrowski
and Mike Weston, the Trust finally completed the permitting process to bring
Goat Island back to the look of the mid
1950‟s. This coming summer, the walkway
between the house and tower will be rebuilt, as will the bell tower and a small fuel
shed. The construction will not only give
the island back its distinctive look, it will
also allow for the full historic interpretation of the lighthouse and the role it
played, and continues to play, in our town‟s
history. Come spring we will encourage
everyone to follow the work taking place,
as well as the beauty of the island and its
surroundings, from our new webcam. It
will be found on our webpage: kporttrust.org.

Trust In Our Town
the tidal grist mill that once was a focal
point of the community. Were it recreated, it would be one of only two remaining tidal mills in America and would add
both beauty and historic significance to the
town and property. It could also play a
significant role in our “Trust in our Children” program. Private funding has been
provided for both the mills construction
and endowment, allowing membership
contributions to remain going to our primary land protection efforts.
Trails, Property Maintenance,
Volunteers…
The highest and best use of most of our
land involves leaving it just the way it is. In
some areas trails are highly desirable, and a
great deal of work was done in 2010 to
enhance our trail network. With the addition of so many other properties, it was
voted to rename our town forest holdings
to the Edwin L. Smith Preserve and a large
stone sign was created and placed at the
beginning of the trail system. Mr. Smith,
Agnes Steele‟s grandfather, was the first to
start to consolidate the land in that part of
town. Bill Case, Bud Danis, Brandon Gillard and Chris Smith worked tirelessly with
other volunteers, and by the year‟s end,
over ten miles of trails had been created
there, including very attractive walkways
over wet areas. David Jourdan used his
GPS expertise to map not only these trails,
but also those located at Tyler Brook and
the Emmons Preserve. The use and enjoyment of the property has increased dramatically.
Grist Mill Update
During the year Steve Simcock was hired
as a project manager to oversee all that is
taking place on our Grist Mill property. He
helped lead the effort to obtain the permits
necessary to revitalize the Clem Clark
boathouse. Electricity will be brought back
to the building, seasonal private bathrooms
installed and new pilings added with the
intent of making this piece of our maritime
history able to last another 100 years and
more. In fulfillment of our pledge to use
this property for passive access to the Kennebunk River, a ramp and float were installed to allow for the launching of kayaks
and canoes. It has been very well received
by all who have seen or used it. And in
keeping with our pledge to bring our properties to their highest and best use, we are
exploring the possibility of bringing back
completed, and the bridge will be put in
place this year.
Maintenance on all of our properties was
accomplished by our exceptional volunteers. Bob Osthues did a great job mowing
the lawn of the Emmons Preserve while
David James took care of the Grist Mill
property. Work was done on most of our
holdings. Upgrades were made to our barn,
tractor, lawnmowers and other equipment.
Scott Dombrowski oversaw volunteers
who went out to Goat Island every other
Wednesday to accomplish specific tasks.
More visitors than ever before found their
way there and all were warmly greeted.
Adam Kyasky and Kyle Dimock helped to
keep the lawns mowed, the docks and
floats repaired in addition to the countless
other requirements of the island. Bob Haskell and the Island Stewards did another
great job watching over the islands. Brown
Tail Moths were again a challenge, but on
March 16th Bob was successful in bringing
25 forest entomologists from around the
northeast (Quebec to Pennsylvania) to
Vaughn„s Island to examine and discuss our
problem. Hopefully, a solution can be
found. The Trust also worked with state
wildlife experts this year and used Stage
Island as a place to try and bring back the
threatened New England Cottontails.
Financials
The Trust‟s investment committee worked
diligently to keep our portfolio safe but
growing, and figured out the best ways to
finance projects. The Trust‟s Capital Campaign Committee was formed and met
often to work on the capital campaign
which would allow the organization to
continue its active role within Kennebunkport, having years of accomplishments and
activity like this one. Timber Point, the
land that defines the eastern side of Goose
Rocks Beach, as well as our other future
protection efforts, is also an integral part of
the Capital Campaign.
Digging
Agnes & James Steel at the Smith Preserve
In order to extend the trails on the
Emmons Preserve to our holdings across
the Batson, Keith Fletcher put together a
grant proposal to the state to fund a walking bridge across the river at its narrowest
point off of the Mark and Gail Roller Trail.
The effort was successful, all the permitting
Archaeological work was done on Goat
Island as part of our permitting process.
There it was discovered that the original
stone house was actually located about ten
feet east of today‟s structure. Work was
also done at the Grist Mill. This year a
phase two dig will be completed there.
Some days were devoted to digs on the
islands as we continue to search for our
past. Finds there included many remnants
of our earliest ancestors.

Children’s Programs
Our programs continued to run and be
enjoyed by many. Our “Trust in our Children” partnership with the Consolidated
School brought spring and fall field trips to
our properties and tied in the experiences
to the science, math and history curriculums. In order to improve and better coordinate the various activities, Leia Lowery
was hired on a stipend basis to work with
volunteers and establish schedules and
agendas.
She will also oversee our
“Discovery Days” summer activities which
also took place last year, seeking to find
those areas that “spark” our children‟s
curiosity and interests and lead them to
greater learning and fulfillment.
our beautiful photos and thoughts of the
week continued to be sent out each Friday.
An advisory committee was established to
help advice the executive director and talk
through ideas and issues. Ed Hutchins was
added to the Board of Directors and brings
with him a lifetime of knowledge and a long
family history regarding the community.
Because of their many contributions, Chris
Smith and Brandon Gillard were added to
our Board of Trustees. And, most of all,
Lisa Lassey was hired from a large pool of
candidates to be the Trust‟s new Assistant
Director. She brings to the Trust many
needed skills and has already moved the
organization forward in its efficiency, quality, number of newsletters and ability to
seek out funding.

KCT Headquarters
The Trust headquarters was used extensively in 2010 by a number of organizations.
The University of New England, Kennebunk
High School, Animal Welfare Society,
Equest, Save Our Beach and many others
used the building for meetings, retreats,
fundraisers, appreciation nights or other
worthwhile functions. The Chamber of
Commerce held a fundraiser for Haiti.
Abigail Ackley raised money for relief work
in Africa. Nathan Poore organized a ride
to fund Autism research.
The Trust
charges no fee for the use of the building
to those whose work helps our community
or those in it.
Organizational Updates
The KCT made many organizational improvements in 2010 as well. Mike Weston
continued to improve our accounting. Our
fundraising software was upgraded to a
Giftworks program. Chris Smith created a
Facebook page for the organization to improve upon our outreach and communication. Our e-mail list grew to over 750 and

The 2010 Volunteer of the Year award
went to two individuals. David Jourdan
was one recipient. Dave has done countless tasks for the KCT. He has walked
each of the trails with his GPS, created
maps, printed and distributed them. He
has solved our computer questions and
helped to install our new programs. He
has worked on trails, taken photographs,
assisted with programs and much more,
including stepping forward to be our next
treasurer. For years now, Charlie Wright
has been in charge of our webcam on Goat
Island. Every day he has focused the camera on the best scene available, sunrises,
sunsets, high surf, ships going by, animals,
visitors, whatever came into his artistic
eye. He has also helped with such activities
as Trust in Art, auctions, the website or
anything else that we asked of him. For
years of service to the Trust and community, our thanks and appreciation go out to
Dave and Charlie as the representatives of
the many who faithfully serve.

common cause in this special place, that
such great victories have been won. That‟s
what a community is all about. That‟s what
we‟re all about, and we hope that you will
continue with us as we carry on with our
efforts to forever protect the beauty and
character of Kennebunkport. Your membership is key. Together we can make a
difference. Together we can do great
things.

A Look Back: 2010 Events
12th Night
Comeau Concert
In June, Jennifer Comeau, her husband John and their band generously donated their time and talents to the Trust in a sold out
concert at our Gravelly Brook Road headquarters. Jennifer's voice
and charm delighted the audience and all were grateful for having
been a part of another very special evening.
Many highly enjoyable and successful events were held by the
Trust during the course of 2010. The Christmas season ended
and the new year began with our annual 12th Night Celebration.
The year before had featured the Kennebunkport town meeting of
1895, using a power point presentation and audience input to
humorously recreate the decision to extend public water to other
parts of town. This year we took it a step further and played out
what it would have been like had the same question been asked in
Roman times. Laughter filled the room as the answers came to
light. Our thanks go out Nancy Kling, Lynn Jourdan, Pat smith,
Janet Weston, Deborah Bauman and Jenne James for all they contributed towards creating such a memorable evening, and to all
who attended.
Mallett Concert
The power was out in much of the town, including the Trust
building, but the show must go on and our annual David Mallett
concert was quickly moved to Atlantic Hall. The venue proved to
be perfect setting for Dave's compelling lyrics and perfectly crafted
melodies and the full house was captivated by the performance.
Top Hatz
In July, the beautiful ballroom of the Colony Hotel was the setting
for a performance of Top Hatz. Nostalgia and good cheer reigned
from beginning to the end of the show, with all donations going to
the work of the Trust. We thank the Colony for sponsoring this
special time.
Phil Matthews Memorial Lobsterbake
A bright blue sky, the beauty of Cape Porpoise harbor and a gathering of friends made the 16th annual Phillip H. Matthews Memorial Lobsterbake one of the best ever. The largest crowd ever was
on hand to tour the lighthouse, hear the afternoon music of Billy
Billy, eat a wonderful meal, dance to the sounds of Straight Lace
and then be part of a performance by the James Montgomery
Blues Band. "Sweet 16" t-shirts were given to everyone in attendance. The evening ended with a spectacular display of fireworks

courtesy of Steve Pelkey and Atlas Fireworks. So many deserve
thanks for such a special day. Kennebunk Savings Bank sponsored
James Montgomery for which we are very grateful. Ed Bull of Cape
Porpoise Catering, Mark & Giselle Nadeau of the Old Fashion Lobster Bake & BBQ Co., Dick Ackley and Paul Carr did a fabulous job
with the food and drinks. Many local lobstermen including Port
Lobster, Langsford Road Lobster, Bob O'Reilly and Allen Daggett
generously provided the delicious main meal. All combined for
one of the best days of the summer. This event was another sellout, with a waiting list for tickets. The next lobsterbake will take
place on Sunday, August 21st. Be sure to get your tickets early!

generous support! Keep an eye open for next year's event where
the theme will revolve around Goat Island Light.
Road Rally
Brian Prichard organized and ran the 5th annual Road Rally in September, which saw vintage cars following a timed course throughout the Kennebunks, searching along the way for the answers to
historical questions about our community while witnessing our
town's beauty. The rally ended at the Grist Mill property where a
short social time was enjoyed by all. All proceeds from the event
went to the Trust and we are grateful to Brian and to all those
who took part.
Flotilla of Friends
Nonantum Brunch
Goat Island again welcomed a "Flotilla of Friends” on Labor Day.
Kayaks and canoes from around the harbor descended on the island for a light breakfast and good cheer, with donations being
made towards the lighthouse restoration project. Thanks to Pat
Smith and the many others who made this colorful event so enjoyable.
Trust In Art
Atlantic Hall was once again the setting for our annual "Trust in
Art" auction, a collaboration between Heartwood College of Art
and the KCT. Some of the best artists in the area were invited to
capture the beauty of Trust holdings. After a wine and cheese
reception and a time for viewing, their beautiful paintings were
skillfully auctioned off by Jim Fitzgerald. In addition to raising funds
for each organization, homes throughout the area are now
adorned with lovely scenes of protected properties. Thanks to
Kennebunk Savings Bank and Maine Home and Design for their
In October the Nonantum held a delicious morning buffet to benefit the Trust, donating 50% of the cost for each breakfast served.
We thank the Nonantum for such a beautiful setting and for such a
great meal, the staff for all of their hard work and all those who
came to support our organization.

KCT also collaborates with the
Kennebunkport Historical Society and we will be sharing our

The ten-mile trail system on
the Smith Preserve that took
two years to make was done
completely by VOLUNTEERS!
The Trust is collaborating with
the Rachel Carson National
Wildlife Refuge, Trust for Public Land, Maine Coast Heritage
Trust and the Biddeford Open
Space Committee to forever
preserve Timber Point and
Timber Island this year.

Rabbits on Stage Island in 2010
as part of their reintroduction
program.
