Why we Care
Discover a Coastal Gem
Step onto this stunning 49-acre preserve and meander along its 0.5-mile forested trail—listening for songbirds as you explore. Once you reach the shoreline, scan the waters of the Bagaduce for seals, bald eagles, and more wildlife enjoying their habitats. This landscape is as diverse as it is scenic—a place worth protecting for generations to come.

Field Notes
Getting to Know Tills Point
When Maine Coast Heritage Trust acquired the Tills Point Preserve in 2006, it secured a remarkable coastal landscape. Due to the diverse forest, consisting of pine, red oak, and spruce-fir stands, the preserve is home to nearly three dozen species of breeding songbirds. The Tills Point shoreline is also an ideal location for observing shorebirds, seals, ospreys, and bald eagles. From the south shore, you can enjoy a scenic view of a broad array of undeveloped, protected coastline with wide mudflats at low tide.

World Fish Migration Day activities will take place from York County to eastern Washington County on the Mousam, Bagaduce, Sheepscot, Orange, and Narraguagus Rivers, all part of MCHT’s multi‑year Rivers Initiative.
