Land Trust volunteers will open Beech Nut, the historic sod-roofed stone hut, and provide guests with information about the history and management of the preserve, including the hut and the surrounding blueberry farm. Visitors may also enjoy field guides, spotting scopes and a Beech Hill community scrapbook. Beech Nut open houses occur twice a month from May through October. A complete list of open house dates and events is available on our website.
Coastal Mountains Land Trust owns and manages Beech Hill Preserve and completed rehabilitation of the historic building from its foundation to its sod roof in November of 2007. The Land Trust has worked since 1986 to permanently conserve land to benefit the natural and human communities of western Penobscot Bay, and has protected over 9,100 acres in the region for their natural, scenic and public recreation resources.
