MCHT Field Trips
Maine Coast Heritage Trust offers a variety of exciting field trips to our coastal preserves, including exploring wild islands, watching migrating hawks, and hiking remote coastal trails. Join local community members as well as Maine Coast Heritage Trust members and friends to discover and explore the scenic beauty of Maine's islands and estuaries, observe nesting seabirds, and learn about the history of the people of Maine in these fragile and sometimes harsh environments.
Each MCHT tour is guided by one or more Trust staff members with detailed knowledge of the preserve. Advanced registration for most trips is not required, and most tours are free. For details about where to go and what to bring, click on any of the trips for a full description.
