The Ongoing Story of Babson Creek Preserve

Babson Creek Preserve exemplifies the power of connection. The landscape shows us how one small place can connect entire ecosystems, and the many species, including humans, who rely on them.

Maine’s unique opportunities

Nature is big here and so is our work:
restoring rivers, safeguarding habitat, and building climate resilience.
Together with Maine communities, we expand access to the outdoors
and secure a healthier future for people and wildlife.
