Standing on the shoreline of the Weskeag Headland Preserve, you see extensive salt grass flats, quiet coves, and acres of open fields and woodland protected along the opposite shore.
The acquisition of the Weskeag Headlands Preserve by the Georges River Land Trust occurred at the end of 2020 and marks the success of many community members and the vision of David and Lorri Cousens to conserve this 37-acre forested property along the Weskeag. David, who grew up in the area, spoke enthusiastically about the opportunities the property offers to educate area youth about the natural environment and give residents the chance to experience the marsh up close.
