This is a rescheduled outing that was originally posted for February 14 as part of the Great Maine Outdoor Weekend.
Let us explore this new preserve on the coast in Brunswick! There are several trails to explore on this 87.5 acre parcel. The east section of trails is about 1.4 miles round trip, and the west section is 1.6 miles total. The terrain is mostly flat and good for families with children. Optional lunch in town after the hike!
The protection of Woodward Point was a joint venture of Maine Coast Heritage Trust and the Brunswick Topsham Land Trust. The property is one of the largest undeveloped parcels of land in northern Casco Bay, and a designated estuary of national significance. The preserve cradles all or part of two commercially important shellfish beds and is surrounded by critical habitat for waterfowl and wading birds. Woodward Point's vast fields are also home to a healthy population of bobolinks, estimated to be around eighty birds in the summer.
