Calopogon tuberosus at the Saco Heath Preserve
The Saco Heath Preserve is a 1,233-acre (499 ha) preserve located in Saco, Maine. It is managed by The Nature Conservancy.[1]
It contains one of the largest stands of Atlantic White Cedar in Maine and supports one of the only two populations in Maine of the Hessel's hairstreak butterfly.[1]
The preserve contains a narrow 1-mile long boardwalk winding through a small portion of the bog and was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. [2]
