These properties all have year-round public access. Trail maps are available at wwww.scarboroughmaine.com/slct/trails.html.

The trust is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization. For more information, call Marla Zando, stewardship director, at 885-9677.

The Scarborough Land Conservation Trust will hold its Annual Meeting on March 25th. One of the Trust’s properties is the 434-acre Broadturn Farm, now a working organic farm. The buildings are a classic example of New England’s “big house, little house, back house, barn” farm architecture and date from the 1700s. Photo by David Buchanan.
