Where we work
Thriving waterways, thriving communities
The Damariscotta-Pemaquid region is defined by its waterways: productive tidal estuaries and the chain of lakes and ponds that make up the Pemaquid River, as well as coastal inlets, marshy wetlands, and countless streams and smaller ponds.
In an area of coastal Maine that is seeing rapid development, these waterways are still healthy and thriving. There are still large blocks of forest here, and big mammals like moose, bear and bobcat.
That doesn’t happen by accident. Together, we are conserving land, protecting water quality, and fostering connections to nature.

Guided hike on the River~Link Trail – RESCHEDULED
Enjoy an afternoon hike along the River~Link Trail where we will walk old farm roads, traverse the side of Hunger Mountain, cross a few small streams and look for special plants like rattlesnake plantain along the way. This wildlife corridor is one of the few large blocks of intact land along this region of the coast, providing critical habitat for moose, deer, bobcats, bears and other big animals. We will look for signs of wildlife as we hike.
