Kennebunk Land Trust properties are on eBird! | | |
|
eBird is an online platform where anyone can document bird distribution, abundance, habitat use, and trends. Birders enter when, where, and how they went birding, and then fill out a checklist of all the birds seen and heard during the outing. | |
Users manage lists, photos and audio recordings, and are able to see real-time maps of species distribution, and can get alerts that let you know when species have been seen. Visit a Kennebunk Land Trust property and see who else was there, what they saw, and when. | |

Users visiting For All Forever Preserve have cataloged 147 different bird species!
Mousam River Wildlife Sanctuary is a close second at 132 different species.

Be our Trail Reporters!
Nature is unpredictable; a storm, high winds, flooding, animal activity, and more can be destructive.

If you see a tree blown down, unnatural debris, broken bridges, or any other hazard, we want to know about it!
