- Been awarded a grant from the SMCC to collaborate with the Scarborough Land Trust board in identifying new areas of mutual concern and future directions.
- Worked with the Eastern Trail Alliance on informational signage along the marsh.
For the upcoming year, we are planning to:
- Partner with the Scarborough Land Trust on the acquisition of a significant property on the marsh and complete the necessary activities to make it accessible for hiking, boating, picnicking and bird watching.
- Work with Scarborough High School, Maine Audubon and the Town of Scarborough on water quality testing and problem identification.
- Examine the impacts on the marsh of damaged or blocked stream crossings with a coalition of organizations and take measures to repair or improve them.
- Increase our educational outreach activities through the school system.
