Field Trip: Cousins River Field and Marsh, Yarmouth

We’ll be searching for breeding birds on this new Maine Coast Heritage Trust preserve as we walk easy loops and spurs (up to 2 miles) in an old farm field and upland forest, with views of the Cousins River salt marsh. There are picnic tables and benches along the way, as well as a porta-potty at the parking area.

Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the preserve off Granite Street in Yarmouth. From Route 1 in Freeport, turn on Old County Road and head northwest. Follow it, as it crosses over I-295 and reaches Granite
Street in 1.5 miles. Turn left and drive less than 1⁄4 mile to the preserve entrance and parking area on the left.
