Autumn View Open House

Join us at our newest public nature preserve, Autumn View, for a first peak at this exciting property! Autumn View Preserve sits in the Meadow Brook conservation area and directly abuts two other BRLT preserves: Appalachee and Lobster Cove Meadow. This beautiful property comprises approximately 68 acres including productive wetlands that join other BRLT conservation lands to permanently protect a significant unfragmented habitat for wildlife.  This preserve has also enabled BRLT to transform public access to nature in the heart of Boothbay Harbor. Autumn View’s interconnected trails adjoin the systems at Appalachee and Lobster Cove Meadow to create the most extensive recreational trail system in Boothbay Harbor.

Environmental educator, Tracey Hall, will lead a guided hike of the new trail system at Autumn View beginning at 10am. Shortly after the conclusion of the hike, historian Dr. Aimée Keithan of Greater Portland Landmarks will provide a guest presentation highlighting the land’s rich history. This  event is free and open to all!
