Description
Kennebunk Plains is a sandplain grassland and successional stage pitch pine barren owned and managed in part by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and The Nature Conservancy. This area is home to breeding species rarely found elsewhere in New England. We will walk alongside this beautiful grassland to look and listen for grasshopper, clay-colored and vesper Sparrows, Upland sandpiper, and Eastern Meadowlark.
