Earlier this month we welcomed our first school group paddle of the year! 🛶The kids were able to get out for a lovely trip on Little Dyer Pond where they learned about all the nature surrounding them, and practiced adventuring safely.

We love providing programming for local school groups and outing clubs, and our ability to do that is strengthened by the support of our members and volunteers.

On June 10, in coordination with Maine Island Trail Association and Boothbay Region Land Trust , Midcoast Conservancy staff visited Spectacle Island. The island is jointly managed, with South Spectacle owned by Midcoast Conservancy and North Spectacle owned by Boothbay Regional Land Trust.
Staff surveyed the island, removed trash, cleared debris from trails, and cleaned up the two MITA campsites ⛺ to help maintain the island for visitors. It was a rewarding opportunity to collaborate with partner organizations while spending time outdoors and contributing to the stewardship of a shared coastal resource. 🌊

📢NOTICE: Upcoming Trail Closure

We will be replacing the large bridge at the start of our Riverbrook Preserve from June 17 to June 24. During this time it will not be safe to pass through this area, so the entire preserve will need to be closed during that week.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete this project.

Spring is a time to get back outside—and to bring others with you 🌿
If there’s someone you hike with, paddle with, or bring to a favorite preserve—this is a good time to invite them to be part of this work too.
A membership is a simple way to bring someone into the community that helps care for these places.

Alewives have finally made it up the West Branch of the Sheepscot River after a long journey from their winter home in the ocean. 🐟Pictured are making the final leap from the fishway exit into Branch Pond where they will spawn before returning to sea. Volunteers are helping us to count alewives at the fishway to help us monitor the population size after the installation of the fishway in 2023.

Thanks to Brandon Kulik of the Branch Pond Association for this amazing footage capturing the final hurdle into the Pond!
