Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife completed its purchase of a 46-acre parcel to be added to the Scarborough Wildlife Management Area. The property was purchased from the Gervais family of Scarborough . It is located on Manson Libby Road adjacent to Dunstan River and the 3,200-acre Scarborough Marsh Wildlife Management Area. The acquisition, originally spearheaded over several years by the Friends of Scarborough Marsh, will conserve habitat for species impacted by the Julie N oil spill, which occurred in the Fore River in 1996.
