This cache is a medium sized ammo can placed along Sandi Silverbrook Trail at Broadturn Farm. (A hidden gem in Scarborough)
This lovely trail is accessible from dawn to dusk, every day, year-round. Parking is located on the gravel farm road accessible from Hanson Road. The trailhead is near the back of the farmstead, marked by a large kiosk.
Broadturn Farm is located on land leased from the Scarborough Land Trust. The land was purchased in 2004 from the Meserve family, who worked it during the previous century. In the 1920s they had a dairy farm. In the 1940s they produced squash and beans for local canneries. They joined in on Maine’s poultry boom in the 1970s and maintained a laying flock into the 1980s. Putting up hay and grazing cattle kept the open land working.
This land is part of the Stroudwater River Watershed which opens up into the Fore River and Casco Bay. There are two streams feeding into that river on either side of the open fields. There are 300 acres of forest and wetland which filters this water and buffers the flow in seasonal rains. A wetland swale cuts through the 50 acre hay field providing habitat for many species of birds.
This is my first hide and I hope you enjoy it!
