Field Trip: Fitzgerald Recreation and Conservation Area / Bay Bridge Landing

We’ll explore these two town-owned properties for early spring migrants. The Fitzgerald Preserve is one of the few sandplain grasslands remaining in Maine. We’ll walk easy sandy paths (up to 2 miles) exploring this unusual natural area. Following, we’ll visit the nearby Bay Bridge Landing Wetland Park on the Androscoggin River.

Meet at 7:30 a.m. at the iron gate at the end of Lindbergh Crossing Road (off Old Bath Road), 1.3 miles northeast of the Bath Road/Old Bath Road intersection.
