Overview:
Join TNC Next members and TNC staff for an organized one day event to help Conservancy staff with preserve management projects such as trail construction and maintenance at the Basin Preserve in Phippsburg.

We will be repairing sections of trail including construction of waterbars and other erosion control structures led by TNC’s Director of Science and Stewardship, Nancy Sferra. The preserve features pitch pine ridges, hemlock gorges and more than four miles of shoreline along the New Meadows River including the Basin, a tidal inlet known for its quiet protected waters.
