Weskeag Headlands Preserve sits on the banks of the Weskeag River, where it protects critical migratory bird habitat found in these tidal marshes and mudflats. Two trails crisscross the property - one that takes users through a forested trail of pine and hemlock and the other that hugs the edge of the marsh. Both trails lead to spectacular views of the Weskeag River and have interpretive kiosks along the way that describe the land’s history and encourage walkers to explore their senses at specific spots along the trail.

Conservation History 
This 37-acre property was purchased from a South Thomaston family in 2020 primarily with funding from the National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant program and the Maine Community Foundation. It adds a critical piece of protection along this important marsh ecosystem and joins almost 1,600 acres of habitat along the Weskeag River and Marsh.​
