There's still time to get out to enjoy the winter landscape! We recently enjoyed a winter ecology walk at the Pleasant Lake Preserve, shown above, led by Maine Master Naturalist Grace Bartlett. Gifted to SRLT in 2010 by Kent Hewitt, “the Cape” of 3-mile long Pleasant Lake offers a well-maintained trail system, wonderful bird-watching opportunities, and exploration of diverse woodland and shoreline habitats. We saw various signs of wildlife that are active in winter, and came across the diminutive springtails hopping atop the snow and an active winter crane fly during our exploration. You can learn more about the Pleasant Lake Preserve and find directions to visit this special place HERE.
Winter is a beautiful time of year to get outside and visit conserved lands in the Sebasticook River watershed. Check out our Community Lands & Trails page to see the variety of trails available to explore on our preserves. No matter what your interest is in outdoor recreation, we hope you find a place to enjoy this beautiful region in Central Maine!
Thank You, Volunteers!
Thank you to our volunteer crews for helping to build a trail at the new Clark Road Wildlife Preserve, plant trees and shrubs at the Rines Preserve and clear trails at the Moulton's Mill Preserve. Hopefully you can join us in the future - it’s hard work but fun and always good to be outdoors! Learn more about volunteering.
