Kennebunk Plains Preserve

Kennebunk Plains Preserve – Kennebunk, ME

Maine / Megan

Today’s walk was the Kennebunk Plains Preserve, whose major claim to fame is that it’s in the sand plain that’s home to the largest single population of Northern Blazing Star (Liatris novae-angliae) in the world.   There’s also pine barrens, and wild blueberries to pick (in August at least) – a good walk all around.

Mast Landing Sanctuary – Freeport, ME

Maine / Megan

It was not a good winter for trees – we decided to check out this sanctuary for the first time on Saturday, and on everything single trail eventually it got to the point where it was blocked by several downed trees.   And I’m sure they never budget for that amount of clean up, so it’s
