Area residents and mariners have long appreciated the beauty of Trundy Point with its ledges extending far out into the waters of Casco Bay. The signature stone outcrop and pocket cove that characterize Trundy Point provide stunning views of the beacons at Two Lights as well as Portland Head Light. Further development of the property had long been considered. Paul Coulombe, a Cape Elizabeth resident, donated the property to CELT after having removed an existing structure so as to restore the Point to its natural state. “Maine is blessed with many scenic areas,” said Mr. Coulombe, “And I am personally grateful to be able to ensure that Trundy Point will be cared for and maintained in perpetuity by the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust.” “Trundy Point is one of the jewels of Cape Elizabeth,” said CELT Executive Director Chris Franklin, “When the Land Trust embarked on its Saving Cape Great Places initiative earlier this year, Trundy Point was high on our conservation list for its ecological and habitat value as well as its spectacular natural beauty.” Following receipt of the property, the Land Trust executed a conservation declaration of trust covering the property, preserving its scenic and natural beauty in perpetuity for public use and enjoyment consistent with its conservation. Located in the Shore Acres neighborhood, Trundy Point is available for limited public daytime use but does not provide a public parking area. About the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust |
