Join Naturalist Sarah Gladu and fellow nature enthusiasts for a gentle hike at Plummer Point Preserve in South Bristol. Plummer Point is a local favorite, with its lovely coastal spruce forest and stunning views of the Damariscotta River, Seal Cove, and nearby islands. We'll listen for the songs of woodland birds such as winter wren and hermit thrush, look for basking seals, and explore the shoreline. Along the way, we'll notice how the estuary influences the forest and vice versa.

Coastal Rivers is looking for volunteers to join the Courtesy Boat Inspection crew. Courtesy Boat Inspectors are our first line of defense to ensure boats, trailers and other gear are not introducing invasive species into local waterways. These trained volunteers will provide voluntary inspections on boats entering the Pemaquid and Biscay Ponds to help ensure that invasive plant species are removed before they can establish themselves in the water bodies.

This wildlife corridor is one of the few large blocks of intact land along this region of the coast and as such it provides critical habitat for moose, deer, bobcats, bears and other mammals.
