The Land
156 acres
Natural Features
A mix of open fields, mature woods, streams, and wetlands, including 15 acres of Scottow Bog, a pitch pine bog considered a rare natural community in Maine. The property also has at least 3 functioning man-made vernal pool habitats, a large area of Nonesuch River floodplain, and large areas of mature forested uplands. The land is remarkably free of invasive species, and has abundant wildflowers, including unusual bog species such as wild orchid and carnivorous sundews.
History & Current Use
In 2012, SLT purchased 162 acres from C. Harvey Warren, with plans to deed 6 acres to the Town of Scarborough. Harvey’s wife Elaine Warren, who died in 2009, was a long-time SLT Board member, conservationist and educator. Their daughter, Becky Seel, was one of SLT’s founding directors. Harvey died in 2015, at the age of 90.
In 2016, SLT completed 3 loop trails and a parking area.
SLT purchased this land with support from individuals, foundations and Scarborough’s Land Bond Fund.
This geocache is a supposedly water tight container, should be available year round, albeit with snow on the ground to walk through.
