FAYETTE – Jane Brogan remembers riding Sancy, one of the many horses she once owned, into the vast woodlands she owned with her husband Jim, in Fayette. The longtime Fayette resident couple has now donated the 53-acre Bamford Pond Woodland Conservation Area to the Kennebec Land Trust.

Jim and Jane Brogan had owned and maintained the land for decades, since 1991, and after recent discussions with the land trust’s Land Committee members, the Brogans signed over the property in November.
