The Wild Blueberry Collective, a grassroots nonprofit, announced Thursday it had purchased a 138-acre barren parcel in Searsport.
The land trust already manages large blueberry barrens at its Beech Hill Preserve in Rockport and hears frequently from people worried about such land being lost to development, according to Steward.
The Wild Blueberry Collective, meanwhile, purchased its land with a loan and needs to raise another $310,000 toward the $650,000 purchase cost, the group posted on Facebook Friday.
Blueberry Hill stayed under ownership of a member of the Allen family, the BDN previously reported, while the Searsport land was sold by Wyman’s.
