Directions:
Located on State Route 27 just South of the Boothbay-Edgecomb town line and across from Little Ponderosa Campground.

Zak Preserve at Wildcat Creek contains open fields, tidal wetland fed by a broad freshwater stream and woodland which forms part of the high central spine of the Boothbay peninsula. It is part of the wildlife corridor that extends south from Route 1, through the Schmid Preserve and on into Boothbay. The property has outstanding wildlife habitat, and, provides recreational trails and a very scenic gateway to the Boothbay region. In the last century, the area bordering the wetlands was farmed. The field running along the east side of route 27 is less than a mile south of the Edgecomb/Boothbay line and is one of the last remaining large open fields in the Boothbay area. The Boothbay Region is known for its spectacular natural beauty, rocky shores, coastal islands and river corridors. Since 1980, the Boothbay Region Land Trust has preserved and maintained the beauty of the Boothbay Region by protecting land for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents and visitors in the Boothbay Region.

The Boothbay Region Land Trust, Inc. (BRLT) is a non-profit 501(c)(3), membership organization dedicated to the selective preservation of natural resources in the Boothbay Region. Land is acquired through conservation easements, bequests, donations, bargain sales and purchases. Most of the properties are open to the public, although some are restricted in use if the intent is to provide wildlife habitat and nesting areas. The BRLT also is active in promoting education about our natural resources.
