46 Acres Conserved!

Friends of Scarborough Marsh, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, and our conservation partners thank Dennis Gervais (third from right) for his family's decision to place a 46-acre parcel of land into conservation as part of the Scarborough Marsh Wildlife Management Area.
From left are: Scarborough Town Manager Tom Hall, Rick Shinay of the Scarborough Land Conservation Trust, IF&W Regional Wildlife Biologist Scott Lindsay, C.D. Armstrong of Friends of Scarborough Marsh, and Richard Dressler, IF&W's representative on the Julie N Natural Resources Trustees.  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.
