Skolfield Preserve

Skolfield Preserve Info

Skolfield Preserve is an 8.4-acre Land Trust-owned property in Brunswick featuring mature mixed woods and salt marsh shoreline along Middle Bay Cove. Rich in history and ecology, the preserve lies near a traditional indigenous canoe portage and an 18th–19th-century shipyard site. With half a mile of trails and habitat next to important mud and clam flats, it’s a prime spot for birdwatching, with over 150 bird species recorded here, supporting both local wildlife and fisheries.
