Welcome to Wells Demonstration Forest: Maine’s American Tree Farmers for 2017!

Located in Milford/Greenfield, Maine, Wells Forest encompasses around 1050 acres of forested property. Sunkhaze Stream runs through the Tree Farm which adjoins the Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.  A plan is underway to establish a Conservation Easement on Wells Forest, making it so development of the forest will be impossible for the life of the forest.  Stay tuned for updates!

The Wells’ have the goal of eventually obtaining some economic value from tree growth as well as helping other woodlot owners define goals for their forests.  Equally important, they desire to do this work in a way that is environmentally friendly for trees, wildlife and fisheries.

Pamela Wells passed away in June, 2025.  Her husband Bryan continues to manage and grow Wells Forest to ensure it represents the best in class of Maine’s privately held forests.
