Voters in South Berwick have the opportunity to vote on two warrant articles on November 8th to make a contribution to the Land Trust’s $2.2 million effort to buy and protect 62 acres of uplands, a quarter mile of shore front, and approximately 9 acres of salt marsh and mudflats off Oldfields Road. These represent critical resources to ensure clean water, conserve wildlife habitat, and provide for low-intensity recreation. Read more about the project here.
