Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Scarborough Land Trust is a private, non-profit, community-based organization with a mission to conserve and steward land where natural and agricultural resources, scenic vistas, and historical significance offer unique value to the community.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Scarborough Land Conservation Trust is a private, non-profit, community-based organization with a mission to accelerate the permanent conservation and protection of greater Scarborough's natural areas, and to steward these environments for the benefit of the community and wildlife.

  • The Scarborough Land Conservation Trust purchased three properties in 2024, totaling 75.71 acres, creating two new preserves and adding on to an existing preserve. The Land Trust also moved into a larger office space allowing for more access with maps and other information available to the public. Two interns were hired during the summer to help with ongoing stewardship and education/communications projects. There were several major stewardship projects at various properties, including new boardwalk construction initiatives at Fuller Farm and Pleasant Hill Preserves. A new welcome platform was constructed at our Warren Woods Preserve.

    Expenses $2,565,777

  • In 2024, Scarborough Land Conservation Trust expanded our Scarborough Marsh program and started a three-year planning process to evaluate possible restoration projects. The Land Trust created several community and stakeholder committees to help in this effort. Planning for the hiring of a dedicated Marsh employee started. Expected hiring date is summer of 2025. A new program working with the University of New England was created and funded that encourages undergraduate students to conduct research in Scarborough, especially in the Scarborough Marsh.

    Expenses $29,494 · Revenue $4,178

  • We conduct a variety of educational programs for the public. We also develop and disseminate several communication vehicles for interaction with the public, including social media, website, e-newsletters, and partner publications. Programs conducted during the year included bird walks, plant walks, wildlife tracking, native plant sale, firefly program, snowshoe walks, and many more. Our youth education programs increased during the year to include a story hour for young children, pre-teen nature book club, and several field experiences for local schools. We also offered several teacher trainings with the Scarborough Public Schools. The Land Trust also organized and ran our first photo contest, titled Marsh Madness, that produced 150 entries from the Marsh and preserves.

    Expenses $107,712
