They include marshes, vernal pools, and small ponds. In total, the York Land Trust says 1,300 acres have been protected in this area \u2014 a block of unfragmented habitat that is critical to the survival of many species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yorklandtrust.org\/explore\/fuller-forest-preserve\/\">Fuller Forest<\/a> is the newer of the two preserve. You&#8217;ll start your walk from a really big parking lot on Bartlett Road and make your way through harvested woodlots. (The York Land Trust says the 220 acres here are sustainably-managed working forest with public access trails.) The path is surprisingly flat and smooth for a woodland path, and because the area is harvested, it allows you to see a fair ways through the forest. If you head over to Norton Preserve, you&#8217;ll pass the Dolly Gordon Basin, and then walk into an older forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: The path connecting Norton Preserve and Fuller Forest Preserve can be a bit wet and overgrown. But the day I visited it was loud with birdsong and so kind of delightful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To access York Land Trust&#8217;s 35-acre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorklandtrust.org\/preserve\/lafcadios-woods\/\">Lafcadio Preserve<\/a>, cross the street from the large parking area at Fuller and roam the bright forest and rocky outcroppings here for a ~1.3-mile loop. The preserve is named for environmentalist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legacy.com\/us\/obituaries\/nytimes\/name\/lafcadio-cortesi-obituary?id=33868502\">Alexander Lafcadio Cortesi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions: <\/strong> The preserve is on the left side of Bartlett Road if you&#8217;re headed north toward Southside Road. It&#8217;s just about 0.76 miles from the intersection with Payne Road, and 0.3 miles from the intersection with Southside Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.03284%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1067\" data-id=\"31233\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/fuller-forest-preserve-york\/fullerforest4\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fullerforest4-768x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fullerforest4-768x1024.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.96716%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"31225\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/fuller-forest-preserve-york\/fullerforest3\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fullerforest3.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fullerforest3.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.64723%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1067\" data-id=\"31224\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/fuller-forest-preserve-york\/fullerforest2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fullerforest2-768x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fullerforest2-768x1024.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.35277%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"611\" data-id=\"65865\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/fuller-forest-preserve-york\/fullerforestpreservemap\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/FullerForestPreserveMap.jpg\" data-width=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/FullerForestPreserveMap.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"611\" data-id=\"65866\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/fuller-forest-preserve-york\/lafcadioswoodspreservemap\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LafcadiosWoodsPreserveMap.jpg\" data-width=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/LafcadiosWoodsPreserveMap.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"695\" data-id=\"64160\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/norton-preserve-kittery\/norton-and-fuller_map\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Norton-and-Fuller_map.jpeg\" data-width=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Norton-and-Fuller_map.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Norton Preserve in orange; Fuller Forest in blue, Lafacdio Woods in red.)
