The Maine Land Trust Network (abbreviated MLTN) promotes discussion among the eighty land trusts in Maine, United States.[1] It was established in 1995.[2]

As of 2023, MLTN members have conserved over 2,685,000 acres (1,087,000 ha) of land, maintain over 2,500 miles (4,000 km) of hiking trails, and provide over 340 water access points. MLTN members protect 61% of the state's land area.[3]

Its conservation partner is the Maine Coast Heritage Trust,[4] of which it is a program.[3] It is run by a steering committee composed of members of some of its constituent trusts.[2]

According to Kate Stookey, president and chief executive officer of Maine Coast Heritage Trust, "MLTN facilitates collaboration and builds capacity for Maine’s land conservation movement statewide."[5]
