The parking area is just under a half mile after the little Audubon Center on the left.Join MDIFW Biologist John Veal at the Scarborough Marsh Management Area (WMA) to learn how MDIFW manages early successional habitat in southern Maine for various bird and mammal species, including the state endangered New England cottontail rabbit. Biologists will lead this outing along the mostly flat, well maintained Eastern Trail and share landscape features and improvements made to help marsh and shrubland species survive. We will dive into the historical land use and management of salt marshes and the surrounding land along with threats these regions face today. Be sure to bring binoculars if you have them as we may see many types of birds or other wildlife if we are lucky.This is an easy trail and is mostly flat.

We believe a healthy ecosystem makes life better for all the fish, wildlife, and people who call Maine home, as well as for the visitors who call it Vacationland.While MDIFW is a state agency, our work is funded by sportsmen and outdoorspeople. Our revenue comes through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses/permits, boat, snowmobile, and ATV registrations, as well as taxes on hunting and fishing gear. The more people who actively enjoy Maine's natural resources, the more ability we have to enhance, preserve, and protect them for the future.Basically, we're all in this together. Biologists. Game wardens. Educators. And you – the hunters, fishermen, and everyday adventurers who support our work.For recreation, for hunting, for fishing, for science, or just for fun: we're all in for the Maine outdoors." } ] } ] ```
