Acquired by The Nature Conservancy in 1978, Great Wass Island Preserve is a natural gem of Downeast Maine. A 4.5-mile hiking trail will take you through the preserve’s unique forests and wetlands. On the shore, exposed granite bedrock drops steeply into the sea, giving evidence of the “Fundian Fault,” a long crack in the Earth’s crust that extends from the Bay of Fundy to the coast of New Hampshire. The island projects farther out to sea than any other land mass in eastern Maine, and exposure to the marine climate shapes the vegetation of the preserve. The waters of the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy meet here and mix to produce a cool, humid oceanic climate that is ideal for rare plants and natural communities. Sitting on the granite shore and watching harbor seals haul themselves out of the waves after gorging at sea is testament to the productivity of this marine ecosystem.
