Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve Hike
July 25, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Discover the history and ecology of Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve during a leisurely one mile hike with Boothbay Region Land Trust Environmental Educator Tracey Hall. This preserve is exceedingly rich in wildlife, with more than 140 species of migratory and nesting birds sighted, along with a variety of other creatures. Wildflowers adorn the meadow from spring to fall, attracting multitudes of butterflies.
In 1880 the stream traversing the wetlands was dammed, creating a large lake that was used for a thriving business harvesting, storing and selling ice. The ice works closed in 1907 but the dam remains in place to stabilize the water level and secure this critical part of Lobster Cove Meadow’s outstanding wildlife habitat.
