SUMMARY:Snowshoe Hike at David Rancourt Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a snowshoe hike at David Rancourt Preserve in Lewiston. Missy Bilodeau\, ALT board member\, co-chair of our Stewardship Committee\, and long-time volunteer\, will lead a moderate walk along the trails that provide a beautiful view of the Androscoggin River. We will depart at 10 AM from the entrance on Tall Pines Drive. There is limited parking directly next to the entrance to the preserve and more parking available in the parking lot to the housing complex across the street from the entrance (please park closer to the road in the lot) and along Tall Pines Drive. \nWhat to bring: snowshoes\, poles (optional)\, water and a snack\, dress warm and preferably in layers. \nWe will have approximately 20 snowshoes available to borrow for this event thanks to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife! Please contact us in advance if you are interested in reserving a pair: 782-2302 or info@androscogginlandtrust.org \nThe David Rancourt Preserve lets you enjoy beaches along the river and the trails make you feel like you are deep in the woods\, while only minutes from Main Street. In 2007\, with help from the Land for Maine’s Future Water Access Fund\, the Androscoggin Land Trust purchased this 14.3-acre parcel of land from the City of Lewiston. The preserve was soon thereafter named in memory of Deputy Rancourt\, a man whose affinity for the river and dedication to his country and community will forever be appreciated. \nHope to see you there!

This first event will be at Purinton Homestead Preserve in West Bowdoin led by Maine Master Naturalist\, Travis Sparks.

Led by trained Maine Master Naturalists and other volunteer leaders\, these walks are a great chance to learn more about the natural world and local conservation efforts.

The Preserve includes a 40-acre field and 100 acres of woods with frontage along Gillespie Brook owned by ALT as well as the privately-owned historic Purinton family home and adjacent 9-acres which ALT holds a conservation easement on.  Gillespie Brook\, empties into Little River which is good potential salmon habitat.

The conservation easements protect over 200 acres of forests\, scenic views and fields as well as the historic John Allen (1760-1834) farmstead and Mountain Purity Spring. This property is privately owned\, although the landowner at her discretion allows for limited public access\, via snowmobile and hiking trails.
